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.
