Description

Spend a day exploring Harlem and the Bronx on a guided tour. Visit landmarks in both neighborhoods, including the Apollo Theater and Monument Park. Explore the General Grant National Memorial and the Yankees Museum, and finish with a baseball game at Yankee Stadium.

Start the day heading north from Manhattan, passing through Midtown until you arrive at Ulysses S. Grant's resting place. See the tomb of the 18th President of the United States and a prominent Union general during the Civil War whose remains are interred in the largest mausoleum in North America.

Continue the adventure with a visit to Harlem. Learn about the ever-changing history of the neighborhood, including its Dutch origins, its notable inhabitants, and its status as the home of African-American music and culture.

Visit local landmarks such as Sugar Hill, the Morris-Jumel Mansion, and the Apollo Theater, where legendary musicians like Ella Fitzgerald and Sammy Davis Jr. made their debut. Stop outside the Cotton Club, once a legendary jazz club that featured many of the greatest African American entertainers.

From Harlem, cross over to the Bronx, a neighborhood made famous by the New York Yankees. First stop at the iconic Yankee Stadium for a guided tour as you learn about the rich history of the 27-time World Series Champions.

Visit Monument Park where the greatest legends are enshrined, followed by a visit to the New York Yankees Museum where you will learn all about Yankees heroes, traditions, and milestones along with a "short-stop" near the field to see what the players see when they're under the bright lights.

Pick up a commemorative Yankees baseball cap before heading for lunch at a local favorite spot, Arthur Avenue Market in NYC's so-called "Little Italy". Enjoy this famous Italian market that brings you close to the fabric of the community in the Bronx.

Finally, head back to Yankee Stadium to watch a live baseball game. Settle into your seat and soak up the atmosphere as you cheer on the Bronx Bombers. Afterward, you'll be transported by bus back to Manhattan.
