You step off the subway into the pulse of Harlem — brownstone facades cut a city wind that smells faintly of coffee and baking, and a local host is already scanning the street for the group. Over the next three hours the neighborhood directs the pace: sidewalks widen for conversation, corner stoops frame stories, and the Apollo Theater offers a quick photo stop before the first tasting.
