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”.
