Take the A Train Tour – Harlem at its Best
Harlem Heritage tours and the Apollo Theater have collaborated to present the “Take the A Train to Harlem Experience”. Meet us downtown and ride the A train uptown to the cream of New York City – Harlem. Exit the subway and immediately you feel the pulse that inspired Duke Ellington to write the legendary tune. Guided by a born and raised Harlem resident, you will walk some of the most historic streets in the area, 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.
