Gospel music in Harlem.
This is the authentic gospel experience you've been hearing about, that said, it can also be VERY crowded. Arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the service.
Abyssinian Baptist Church: One of America’s oldest and most significant Black congregations, Abyssinian is certainly worth a visit. However, it is usually swamped with visitors and tour groups, and its services tend to be more reserved in tone. The Abyssinian is home to several choirs and a dance ministry. Service: Sunday 11am. Tourists are not admitted to the 9am service, or on certain holidays and church celebrations. 132 West 138th Street (aka Odell Clark Place).

Amazing Caribbean food! Really, anything on the menu is great, but for the authentic experience get either: oxtail, jerk chicken, or chicken curry, YUM!. Grab any side that's still available (they run out due to demand) and a beef patty and you'll be all set!
