Take the A Train Harlem Heritage/Apollo Experience
Harlem Heritage Tours and the Apollo Theater collaborate to present the “Take the A Train to Harlem Experience”. Meet us downtown and ride the A train uptown to the grand village of Lady Harlem. Exit the subway and immediately you feel the pulse that inspired Duke Ellington to write the legendary tune “Take the A Train”. Guided by a born and raised Harlem resident, you will walk historic streets in the area celebrating music and cultural greats such as Bill Bo Jangles Robinson, Louis Armstrong and Willie Bryant – yes Willie Bryant – followed by a sit down soul food meal at a community Restaurant. We will end the excursion with “Amateur Night at the Apollo”. This is the event that has launched the careers of countless entertainment giants such as Michael Jackson and James Brown – Harlem at its best.
