Harlem Gospel Wednesday Afternoon Tour

Harlem Gospel Wednesday Afternoon Tour

Spend an afternoon discovering Harlem on this guided, 4-hour tour. Harlem has evolved from its foundation as a Dutch farming community to the modern-day capital of Black America — from the Harlem Renaissance to the dark days of the 70s to today’s real estate boom. The tour, narrated in two languages (English and German or Italian and Spanish), will include stops at Sugar Hill, Morningside Heights, the Apollo Theater, Sylvan Terrace, and other relevant points of the fabled neighborhood. Finally, visit a Church and attend a true gospel mass.

Harlem was founded in the second half of 1600 as a Dutch farming community. The settlement grew enormously during the first great wave of migration at the turn of the 19th Century. Between 1880 and 1920, large numbers of immigrants, especially Italians and Jews, arrived at Ellis Island and settled in New York. Remember two dates for the development of Harlem: 1863, when President Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery with an executive order, and the financial crisis of 1904.
