Going to NYC next week with my darling hubby. We are staying in Times Square, and he has mapped out a bunch of things to do. We will be spending one day in Harlem, and my assignment is to come up with our plans for that day. Any suggestions? Are there any good comedy clubs, museums, restaurants that you would recommend? We are in our mid-30's, if that makes a difference. Thanks!

Tons to do in Harlem, USA! You can visit "The Studio museum, visit and see a show/comedy show at The Apollo theater, have dinner at Amy Ruth's, good Southern food, shop on 125, see a movie at the Magic Johnson theater or just sit and watch the people go by in front of the Adam Clayton State building, where President Clinton has an office.
Enjoy, there's lot to do.

In addition to what all of the other positive people stated, you can walk up and down the streets and admire Harlem's architecture. There are beautiful brownstones and fantastic churches.
There is also a wonderful jazz club called "St. Nick's Pub" located on St. Nicholas Avenue and around 150th Street.

Why would you want to go to Harlem? The only time I went to Harlem was to get my braids done. It's not a tourist palce esp. if you're only going there for a week. Don't waste your time visiting Harlem when there are zillion other things to do around Manhattan.

Like Bill Cosby told his kids:
" Smile at everybody, don't trust anybody. "
