I’ve wanted to take Apollo to the Apollo Theatre in Harlem, NYC because obviously they have the same name! I haven’t been able to do it yet but on my last trip I decided to stay near there so I could visit it. There weren’t any events that day so I couldn’t go inside, but I was able to take some photos outside.

Aside from their iconic sign, I was actually disappointed at the theatre. From what I read, I thought it would be a monumental destination, but I guess it is monumental in culture and not stature. It only occupies two storefronts and seems like one of those (movie) theatres of old (in fact there is a derelict one just down the block). Even the sign, when I look at it up close now, is not as impressive as the website makes it out to be.
