Description

STEP 1: Back to School!
A typical American campus in northern Manhattan, one of the oldest universities in the United States. Important : Please note that the campus of Columbia University is currently close to public. We still discuss Columbia University in detail: we meet in front of the gates, visit the bookstore, show photos, and explain how it works and why it’s currently closed. Then we walk past fraternity houses, Mount Sinai, St. John the Divine Cathedral, Morningside Park, and explore the streets and history of Harlem.

STEP 2: St. John The Divine Cathedral
The largest cathedral in the world, never completed, St. John The Divine is worth a visit.

STEP 3: Jazz Baby!
The birthplace of jazz music, discover Harlem's most legendary clubs. Consider joining a jazz dinner during your stay or after the tour.

STEP 4: Brownstone, you say Brownstone?
Who could have imagined the architectural richness of Harlem's houses? Let's lose ourselves in these beautiful, tree-lined streets.

STEP 5: Historical and Contemporary Influential Figures
Duke Ellington, Malcolm X, Adam Clayton Powell... you'll learn all about these figures who have left their mark on the neighborhood for nearly 150 years.

STEP 6: Art
Harlem is not lacking in murals and street art. The neighborhood is full of works rich in messages.

STEP 7: 400 churches in Harlem, no less!
The Mecca of gospel services welcomes you with open arms!
