Free Harlem Walking Tour
Although world famous, Harlem may be New York's best kept secret with some of the city's most interesting architecture, food, music and people. Harlem's history is also one of the city's most dramatic, having gone through many ethnic, cultural and socioeconomic changes over the past roughly 400 years, which have resulted in a diverse array of places of worship, theaters, homes and eating establishments.
