Harlem

Strivers' Row to the Apollo — brownstone blocks where half of American culture got its start.
The route
1.Apollo Theater
The tree stump in the lobby comes from the Tree of Hope — performers still rub it for luck.
2.Strivers' Row
Two of the most beautiful blocks in the city, with 'walk your horses' signs still on the gates.
3.Abyssinian Baptist Church
A congregation older than the neighborhood itself.
4.Marcus Garvey Park
Climb to the fire watchtower — the last one standing in the city.
5.Sylvia's
The queen of soul food since 1962.
6.Hotel Theresa
The 'Waldorf of Harlem' — Castro stayed here, and Malcolm X kept an office.
7.Astor Row
Wooden porches in Manhattan. Really.
8.125th Street
Finish on the boulevard that names the whole world's idea of Harlem.
