Soul of Harlem Walking Tour i New York
Beskrivelse
Vores 10.000-trins rejse begynder med et fugleperspektiv af 125th Street, Harlems mest populære gade. De vigtigste temaer, vi vil diskutere, er Harlem-renæssancen og gentrificering. Vi går forbi og diskuterer disse berømte steder: - Verdens berømte Apollo Teater - Sylvia's Soul Food Restaurant - Langston Hughes hjem - Astor's Row - Flere ikoniske vægmalerier Denne tur er baseret på en bog, jeg har skrevet, "You Are Here: A Geographic History of Enslaved and Free Africans in Manhattan from 1613 to 1865." Jeg vil bruge min tour guide erfaring (jeg har givet over 700 ture) til at gøre dette til en sjov tur. Det bedste af det hele er, at du får en Harlem-oplevelse - se den venlige kultur, mennesker og steder i Harlem. Er du forsinket, så kontakt mig hurtigst muligt. Jeg vil have en 5-minutters henstandsperiode. Bagefter vil jeg fortsætte til vores første stop - Metro-North Railroad (overjordisk togstation) direkte på tværs af gaden fra Ginjan Cafe på Park Ave.

Our Tour Guide Larry was personable, knowledgeable, and funny. He made us feel the soul of Harlem. And took us to amazing locally owned coffe shops with great ambiance & pastries.
What an amazing experience! Our guide, Larry, was informative, funny, answered everyone's questions, and he set a good pace so that we could see everything, get our photos.
