Planifiez votre itinéraire à Harlem avec ces lieux incontournables du quartier.
1
Apollo Theater
1
253 W. 125th St.
It doesn’t get much more iconic than Harlem’s legendary theater, where jazz, rock, comedy and classical music are all on offer. Its Amateur Night has helped launch the careers of luminaries like Ella Fitzgerald.
2
Sylvia’s ‘Soul Food’ Restaurant
2
328 Lenox Ave.
Founded in 1962, Sylvia’s is world-famous for its home-style smothered chicken, barbecue ribs and collard greens. Although their chicken and waffles is rightly beloved, make sure to order the catfish too—you’ll be glad to share it.
3
Minton's Jazz Club
3
206 W. 118th St.
Get a taste of history at this legendary club, founded in 1938, which boasts a roster of jazz greats and a menu from the celebrated Cecil's Steakhouse. Thrill to smooth tunes at the Sunday brunch, and arrive early to any meal to start off with a cocktail.
4
National Jazz Museum in Harlem
4
58 W. 129th St.
Experience jazz history via live performances, displays and a media library, and make sure to check out the Ralph Ellison exhibit, an archive of the Invisible Man author’s personal record collection.
5
Red Rooster Harlem
5
310 Lenox Ave.
There’s good reason for Marcus Samuelsson’s celebrity reputation: the near-flawless menu at his comfort-food mainstay. First-time visitors shouldn’t leave without trying the Hot Honey Yardbird; parties of two should go for the Fried Bird Royale, which comes with mac-and-cheese and waffles.
6
Dinosaur Bar-B-Que
6
700 W. 125th St.
Just down the block from the 1 train, Dinosaur serves Texas roadhouse–style barbecue. Combination plates come with a smoked meat—like brisket, pulled pork, ribs or chicken—two homemade sides, such as mac and cheese and simmered greens, and cornbread. It’s a saucy kind of joint that passes out wet wipes with your meal.
7
El Museo del Barrio
7
1230 Fifth Ave.
This is the only museum in the City to specialize in art from Puerto Rican, Caribbean and Latin American cultures. Beyond artwork, the East Harlem museum hosts community events and cultural festivals, and its café is open daily.
8
Abyssinian Baptist Church
8
132 Odell Clark Place
The historic church has been a pillar of spirituality in the African-American community since its inception in 1808; its founders resisted the segregated seating at the First Baptist Church in New York City, and instead formed their own congregation. The daily 11:30am service is open to visitors.
9
Abyssinia Ethiopian
9
268 W 135th St
"Abyssinia" is the ancient name for the Ethiopian Empire. Abyssinia the restaurant serves food that is flavorful and authentic. Forget the utensils here and scoop up traditionally prepared meats and veggies with injera, a sour flatbread.
