Exclusive Pre-Convention Add-On • Thursday, Oct 15

Tour of Harlem

One day. One bus. One neighborhood that changed the world. Culture, history, and soul food — all in a single unforgettable evening before ABNC kicks off.

🎟️ Reserve Your Spot — $299

Where Black History Lives & Breathes

This isn't a tourist trap. Harlem is sacred ground. It's where the Harlem Renaissance exploded in the 1920s — a cultural revolution that gave the world Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Duke Ellington, and Louis Armstrong. It's where Marcus Garvey rallied millions around Black pride and economic self-determination. Where Malcolm X preached at the corner of 116th and Lenox. Where the Apollo Theater launched the careers of Ella Fitzgerald, James Brown, and Stevie Wonder.

Harlem is the birthplace of bebop, the cradle of the Civil Rights Movement in the North, and the neighborhood that proved Black excellence was never a trend — it was always the standard. Walking these streets isn't just sightseeing. It's a homecoming.

You'll be guided through the landmarks, the stories, and the living legacy of one of the most culturally significant neighborhoods on earth — with fellow ABNC wealth builders by your side.

Your Private Charter Tour

You won't be on a public bus with strangers. This is an exclusive private charter — just 46 ABNC attendees, one expert guide, and the full story of Harlem unfolding block by block.

From the Apollo Theater on 125th Street to the brownstones of Sugar Hill, from the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture to the streets where the Harlem Renaissance was born — your guide will bring it all to life with the depth and reverence it deserves.

  • The Apollo Theater — where legends were made and careers were launched
  • Sugar Hill — where Duke Ellington, Thurgood Marshall & W.E.B. Du Bois lived
  • 125th Street — the cultural and commercial heart of Black New York
  • The Schomburg Center — the world's premier archive of Black history
  • Strivers' Row — the historic block of Black professionals and entrepreneurs

Dinner at Sylvia's Restaurant

Since 1962, Sylvia's Restaurant has been the undisputed Queen of Soul Food in Harlem — and one of the most celebrated Black-owned restaurants in American history. Founded by Sylvia Woods, a South Carolina sharecropper's daughter who built an empire on love, community, and the best fried chicken you've ever had.

Presidents, celebrities, civil rights leaders, and everyday people have all pulled up a chair at Sylvia's. Now it's your turn. The tour ends here — with a seated dinner in one of Harlem's most iconic rooms, surrounded by fellow ABNC builders, the night before the convention begins.

This is more than a meal. It's a ritual. A celebration. A reminder of what Black excellence looks like when it's been standing for over 60 years.
