Go Native in Harlem

Your latest chance to rub noses and more with exotic tribes in their natural habitat comes from tour operators offering "unprecedented access" to the Harlem hip-hop culture. The tour includes "meet and greet" sessions with hip-hop artists in recording studios and clubs, as well as a tour of the legendary Apollo Theater. Participants ride in stretch Hummer limousines. (Shame about that, but they're at least culturally typical).

"Until now, the Harlem hip-hop scene was considered unchartered [sic] territory for residents and would-be travellers to New York City," said H3 Tours in a news release. "H3 Tours removes fears, stereotypes, and access barriers to offer hip-hop enthusiasts from all walks of life a rare opportunity for a safe and unique Harlem experience," the release added.

The tour includes lessons in hip-hop dancing (whatever they think that is).

...whether, umm, “chronic blunts” are included we don't know.
