Points of Interest

“Expect the unexpected” might be the motto of Harlem. From the site of Revolutionary War battles to one of New York’s finest architectural blocks, Harlem will delight and surprise you. Experience the southern charm of Astor Row, stroll through Morningside Park or visit the Apollo Theater—you may even pass former President Clinton on his way to lunch on 125th Street.
