Harlem Soul Food and Jazz Tour - Enjoy an Evening of Jazz and a Soul Food Dinner

Soul Food and Jazz Tour - Harlem Spirituals

Come and relive the high-stepping, fun-loving nights of the 1920's! Tour the neighborhood with one of our professional city guides and learn about Harlem's role in the history of jazz and the roles of its noted jazz musicians in giving New York its musical edge.

See the site of the original Cotton Club, where Duke Ellington and Lena Horne spent hours wowing crowds from around the world. Drive past the site of the Savoy Ballroom where Benny Goodman and Chick Webb fought it out during their "Battle of the Bands,' and where the 'Charleston,' 'Lindy Hop' and the 'Big Apple' dances were firmly cemented into American culture.

See the world-famous Apollo Theater, where Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald won the popular "Amateur Night," which still boasts standing room only audiences every Wednesday night. Pass by the Lincoln Theater, where Fats Waller passion underscored Vaudeville shows, and Minton's Playhouse, where bebop was born and where Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and The Lonious Monk started the tradition of jam sessions.

What is "Soul Food?" Soul Food is traditional African American cuisine that originated in the South in the United States. Today it has become a highly sought after cuisine. It consists of spicy ribs, collard greens, fried fish and chicken, freshly cooked corn bread, and a few side dishes like black eye peas, okra, or macaroni and cheese to mention a few.
