Rights Movement. Most wealthy residents left the neigh- bourhood after the real estate crash of the 1930s, and soon after people from the South came seeking work in the city and moved to Harlem. Harlem is, of course, renowned for its musical his- tory. And there is still plenty to do and see in that re- gard. You should certainly visit the illustrious Apollo Theater on 125 th Street, between Frederick Douglass Boulevard and 7 th Avenue. It is also very nice to do a Gospel Tour in Harlem, where walking into a church on a Sunday morning will certainly be an unforgettable experience. Visit the Abyssinian Baptist Church, Striv- er’s Row, the Apollo Theater, the Schomburg Center for Research into Black Culture, Hotel Theresa, sites as- sociated with Malcolm X, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and many others. Then be sure to opt for the traditional African-Amer- ican cuisine known as Soul Food. It is a lot like the food available in the Southern states of America (Louisiana, Mississippi etc.). With fried chicken, sweet potatoes and beans, it isn't the kind of food to eat if you're on a diet. A new place and hotspot in the area is Red Roost- er Harlem, situated on 126 th Street and Lenox Avenue. Walk down a block further on the same street to Sylvia’s Restaurant and enjoy real Soul Food with a rich history. Many streets and avenues in Harlem are co-named after its famous leaders and residents, like Lenox Ave- nue co-named Malcolm X Boulevard., 125 th Street co- named Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard., and Eighth Avenue co-named Frederick Douglass Boulevard… Walk those streets and remember these greats…
