Harlem

Friday , December 18th
Under rather cold conditions, I joined a walking tour in Harlem. A history teacher from a local university was today’s tour guide. She was very knowledgeable about Harlem’s history. Especially about the Dutch influence on architecture. For example about the high stoop and the traditional Dutch rooftops.

While being in the subway, I remembered that the Stock Exchange building at Wall Street is always nicely lit during the evening. So when the announcement was ‘Next stop: Wall Street’, I quickly exited and took a few photos.
