COOL THINGS IN JAPAN YOU MUST SEE
At the top of my list of things to do in Harlem is to take in the architecture. This is one of the best Harlem attractions.
Of course there is the Cathedral of Saint John the Devine, the largest cathedral in the world. The architecture both inside and out of this magnificent Gothic cathedral is truly amazing and a Harlem must-see.
The elegant Teresa Hotel was granted landmark status by the city of New York in 1993. Built in 1914, it did not segregate until 1940.
Until then, many of black America’s most notable performers; Josephine Baker, Ray Charles, Jimi Hendrix, Louis Armstrong, Dorothy Dandridge, Duke Ellington, Nat King Cole, Lena Horne, Count Basie could not lodge there.
Many African-American artists have passed through The Apollo Theater since it opened in 1941; Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Luther Vandross, The Godfather of Soul, James Brown and Gladys Knight to mention a few.
No mention of great Harlem restaurants would be complete without including Melba’s, where, as they say, dining at Melba’s is like coming home to dinner.”
