Discovering Black New York: A Guide to the City's Most Important African American Landmarks, Restaurants, Museums, Historical Sites, and More

Superb travel companion for anyone visting or revisiting "The Big Apple." (NYC). A nice addition to any travel/tourism library.

A lot of great info you won't find in the "standard" travel books. Good historical stuff too.

This is a great book for anyone who visits New York City and wants to walk in the footsteps of Africans and African Americans. The guide helps you to understand the important contributions of black people past and present. The information is quite comprehensive and includes well-written descriptions of historic sites, restaurants and cultural venues.Anyone who wants to know about African Americans in New York City will find value in this wonderful guide.

This book is fantastic!! It has everything - history, culture, restaurants, live music, shopping, guided tours and lots of valuable information about black New York. Everyone knows about the Statue of Liberty, Broadway, Times Square and all the other sites that tourist visit, but Discovering Black New York explores places that I was not aware of, like the Joloff and Brooklyn Moon restaurants in Brooklyn, Sylvan Terrace in Harlem and the African American Museum in Hempstead, Long Island.It's written in a friendly inviting way, that inspires you to visit all the great places in the book. I loved this book!!!!
