Harlem Spirituals
New York
United States
Sun, 19th October 2008 - Sun, 28th March 2010
Join us on a Sunday morning in the Black capital of the world and learn about Harlem, its start as a rural Dutch community, its transformation into a summer retreat for New York's most prominent families, how it then became a Mecca for African American writers and artists at the turn of the century, to its troubled past during the 1960's and 1970's and its present day community brimming with pride and reveling in its new renaissance.
Along the way you will see famous sights and landmarks such as St. John the Divine, Columbia University, City College, Morning Side Heights, the Morris Jumel Mansion, Sylvan Terrace, Strivers Row and the Abyssinian Baptist Church, Sugar Hill, St. Nicholas Avenue, where Duke Ellington lived and the famed 125th street, Harlem USA, the Cotton Club, and the Apollo Theater, the Schomburg Center for research in Black Culture. Then, join a local congregation for the Sunday worship service and experience the soul stirring power of Gospel music.
End your tour with a unique brunch experience: No Sunday in Harlem is complete without some of the best Soul Food and a "Live" Gospel show!
What is "Soul Food"?
Soul Food is traditional African American cuisine that originated in the South in the United States. Today it has become a highly sought after cuisine. It consists of spicy ribs, collard greens, fried fish and chicken, freshly cooked corn bread, and a few side dishes like black eye peas, okra, or macaroni and cheese to mention a few.
