During this tour we will visit two of the most misunderstood and famous places in NYC, Harlem and the South Bronx.
Let’s rediscover the South Bronx, for too many years imprisoned in a picture of squalor and destruction. Today this neighborhood is one of the most artistically lively and is undergoing a process of restoration to its former splendor. Birthplace of Hip Hop and graffiti as well as one of the neighborhoods richest in Art Nouveau buildings in the United States. Of course we will also see one of the symbols of the Bronx, the Yankee Stadium, considered a true “monument” in this district.
We will then move to Harlem, definitely one of my favorite neighborhoods here in NYC, full of culture, history and liveliness.
During this tour we will visit the most famous places such as the Apollo Theater and 125th Street, but we will also get to know the places that are not very publicized, to let you fully enjoy the true atmosphere of Harlem. We will walk on Convent Avenue, one of the most elegant streets with wonderful architecture that ends with the beautiful City College (the first public University in the United States) and the house of Alexander Hamilton (one of the founding fathers of the USA and the first American Secretary of the Treasury, as well as the protagonist of the famous Broadway Musical!).
An unusual tour that will make you discover different sides of the beautiful New York.
At the end of the tour is also possible to have lunch at the famous Sylvia’s or Red Rooster where you will taste the typical “Soul” food of Harlem.
This is a 4 hours tour.
