Suggested Itinerary

Begin your ride with a pickup from your accommodation and head north into Harlem. Start at 1Apollo Theater (Harlem), where the iconic facade of the Apollo Theater reflects the neighborhood’s deep musical heritage and its role in shaping American culture.

A short drive away, continue to 2Cathedral of St. John the Divine, an awe-inspiring cathedral known for its towering stone columns, intricate stained-glass windows and tranquil gardens — a peaceful place to pause and take in the surroundings.

Next, cross into the Bronx for a stop at 3Yankee Stadium. Even for non-sports fans, the scale and history of this legendary venue make it an unforgettable sight.

Conclude your journey at 4City College of New York, one of New York City’s most beautiful and lesser-known university campuses. Its castle-like architecture and panoramic city views create a striking and memorable final stop.

After exploring Uptown’s cultural heart, your driver will bring you back downtown or drop you off at a location of your choice.
