Visiting New York City means also attend a Gospel Mass in Harlem. That's because the African-American community, deeply rooted in the "big apple" and in particular in Harlem, is always willing to welcome the many tourists intrigued by the amazing world of gospel masses. The religious functions, which usually take place on Sunday morning (11 am), has always been a very strong recall for hundreds of visitors who often make the churches also very crowded. This is why you have to choose the "right church to experience the magic of the gospel mass. A welcoming pastor, music, gospel songs and prayers are the ingredients of a celebration that shouldn't really be missed. Which church should you choose to avoid the onslaught of other tourists who wish to attend a Mass ghospel?
Evitare le principali chiese indicate sulle guide turistiche è la prima linea guida. La prima trappola è proprio affidarsi alle guide, perchè proprio come voi saranno in tanti a possederle e quindi recarsi nello stesso luogo. Una delle più gettonate è l'Abyssinian Church, con a ruota la First Corinthian Baptist Church. Noi abbiamo assistito alla messa di Natale e lo abbiamo fatto alla Salem United Methodist Church (2190 Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd, New York), situata proprio nel cuore di Harlem. Le fermate della metro più vicine sono la "125th" e la "135th".
Just avoid the main churches listed on tourist guides: this is the first and most important tip: everybody are definitely going there! One of the most popular is the Abyssinian Church, another one is the First Corinthian Baptist Church. We've actually attended the Christmas mass at the Salem United Methodist Church (2190 Adam Clayton Powell Jr Blvd, New York), located right in the heart of Harlem. The nearest subway stops are the "125th" and "135th".
The pastor ci ha accolto splendidamente e lo stesso vale per i fedeli: molti dei quali si sono fermati con noi chiedendoci da dove venissimo e se stavamo gradendo lo spettacolo. La funzione può durare anche un'ora e mezza.
The pastor and his faithful welcomed us beautifully: many of them have stopped us asking a lot of questions. For example "where are we from?" or "are we enjoying the the atmosphere?". The function lasts about an hour and a half.

Terminata la messa avrete sicuramente appetito poiché sarà ora di pranzo. E non potrete di certo mancare l'appuntamento con il ristorante Social Corner (321 Malcolm X Blvd, New York), situato a 500 metri dalla Salem United Methodist Church. Il suo brunch domenicale diventerà la ciliegina sulla torta della vostra mattinata nel quartiere di Harlem.
It's lunch time and the celebration is over. Are you hungry? Well, you won't certainly miss the Corner Social restaurant (321 Malcolm X Blvd, New York), located 0.3 miles far from Salem United Methodist Church. Its Sunday brunch will become the icing on the cake of your morning in Harlem.
