A gospel brunch is a Harlem tradition, and the Harlem Gospel Choir brings it downtown to one of the world's best-known jazz clubs. Their set moves from spirituals rooted in African American history to modern church sound, loud and joyful in a room that seats only a few hundred. If you have visitors who want a real New York Sunday, this is a crowd-pleaser.

What to expect

Doors open at noon for brunch service, then the choir takes the small stage for a rousing set. Expect clapping, call-and-response and a mix of tourists and locals at shared tables.
