We’ll admire colorful murals that tell the story and culture of the area and hear tales of musical icons and legendary figures from the underworld who have shaped the identity of this corner of New York. You’ll feel the energy of Harlem beneath your feet as you explore a neighborhood that was at the center of the Black Renaissance.
