Harlem & Upper Manhattan - New York City
The top half of Manhattan is a lot of territory to cover, with numerous points of interest a distance away from each other. So pick a neighborhood (or better yet, a couple of contiguous neighborhoods) and explore them at length.
- concede that size does matter at the gloriously epic yet still-unfinished Cathedral Church of St John the Divine, the largest place of worship in the US
- see the world through African American eyes at the small but savvy Studio Museum in Harlem
- escape the rat race and modernity at the Cloisters Museum & Gardens, an architectural mishmash of monasteries housing medieval art
Coverage includes: Neighbourhood Top Five, Local Life, Getting There & Away, Sights: Cathedral Church of St John the Divine, Studio Museum in Harlem and more, Harlem Soul Local Life, Eating, Drinking & Nightlife, Entertainment, Shopping and Sports & Activities.
