Iconic Harlem: NYC’s “Most Storied Neighborhood”

Janes Walk

Led By Leigh Hallingby

We will visit the most iconic locations in Harlem including the Abyssinian Baptist Church, Apollo Theater, Harlem Hospital murals, Harlem Walk of Fame, Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, Studio Museum of Harlem, and Sylvia’s Restaurant. We will see the vast changes that have taken place on the most famous street in Harlem, 125th Street. We will also explore the landmarked neighborhoods of Strivers Row, Astor Row, and Mount Morris Park. As we walk, we will note the many ways in which great African Americans are honored throughout Harlem, including with the impressive statues of Harriet Tubman and Adam Clayton Powell, Jr.
