A Tale of Two Cities: Harlem & The Bronx
Did you know that if you took a vacation in the Bronx and Harlem you would not have to venture further south into Manhattan? Does that sound surprising? Of course, it does, because most people do not know what these areas have to offer. Food and people from all over the world, jazz clubs, art museums, beautiful gardens overlooking the Hudson River, the most winningest team in sports, the residence of Alexander Hamilton, homes to some of America’s greatest writers, the largest park in the five boroughs, an Ivy League University and that is just the start. We are not asking you to spend your vacation in Harlem and the Bronx, but we want you to spend a half day with a local who is also a tour guide and who will show you as much as someone can of the two cities beyond the city. We know when you visit again, you will want to go back for more.
