Harlem Gospel Music Tour: Wednesday

Once New York's most fashionable neighborhood, Harlem has a fascinating story to tell. Stroll through the lovely and elegant enclave, Sugar Hill, where were famous musicians like Duke Ellington once lived. See the legendary Apollo Theatre and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. Witness the beautiful acapella sounds of the ARC gospel choir during this mid-week hour of power and hear their powerful voices singing songs of praise and share their experience.

This tour gives you the option of adding on a delicious Soul food lunch at the end of the tour! Soul Food is traditional African American cuisine that originated in the South in the United States. Today it has become a highly sought after cuisine. It consists of spicy ribs, collard greens, fried fish and chicken, freshly cooked corn bread, and a few side dishes like black eye peas, okra, or macaroni and cheese to mention a few.

ARC stands for Addicts Rehabilitation Center, the oldest drug-free treatment program center in New York State. The ARC gospel choir was formed to help finance treatments for the people in the community to recover from drugs.
