So now for something a little different: Here’s a link to a recent episode of Toni On! New York, a local travel program in NYC, which features a couple of minutes of me talking about Harlem history for Black History Month:
The show usually features Seth Kamil of Big Onion Walking Tours giving some background on the history of different areas where the show is filmed. For this one he asked me to fill in and talk about Harlem. My part is mostly in the first segment, but the whole show is very well done and worth watching. I liked that it features some great local Harlem businesses including Harlem Heritage Tours, Make My Cake bakery, Amy Ruth’s Restaurant, Dinosaur Bar-B-Q, and the historic Apollo Theater.
