Description:
The Hotel Theresa is the stuff of legend, and one of the New York ì landmarks that established Harlem as a mecca of black culture. ì Meet Me at the Theresa is the first book devoted to the fabulous ì story of the Hotel Theresa. Though it closed its doors in 1970, ì there are still many who live to tell the tales -- and this ì lively social history is based on their first-hand accounts.

In mid-twentieth century America, Harlem was the cultural ì capital of African America and the Theresa was the place for ì black people to see and be seen. The hotel was known to have the ì hottest nightlife in the world and to be the only grand hotel in ì Manhattan that welcomed nonwhites.
