Harlem's Great Musical History

Miles Davis and John Coltrane are just two of many greats who played at the Lenox Lounge. Built in the 1930s it has been restored to its original splendor. The beer was nice and cool too!





Who has performed at The Apollo Theater? Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, James Brown, The Supremes, Gladys Knight, Mavin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin and the Isley Brothers to name but a few!



These days the weekly amateur night is still hugely popular.
The apartment block where Billie Holiday first lived when she moved to NYC.
