New York City Journeys

Combine chess games in Greenwich Village with extended stops at the Strand Bookstore; throw in long walks in Harlem and Times Square; add visits to the Brooklyn Museum and Chinatown; include subway rides here and there; and try if you can to account for the extra, unexpected discoveries along the way and what you get is our annual African American literary studies and black studies trips to New York City.
