The African Burial Ground became a National Historic Landmark in 1993. The African Burial Ground National Monument's story is both old and new: It began use in the 17th or 18th century but was only rediscovered in 1991. Our story is both the story of the Africans whose holy place this was, but also the story of the modern-day New Yorkers who fought to honor these ancestors.

Minton’s was the place where Bebop was born; the place, really, where the foundations of modern jazz were established. Founded in 1938 by the saxophonist Henry Minton (from whom the establishment took its name) Minton’s Playhouse became, over the next decade, the setting for a revolution in jazz.
The New Minton's restaurant and bar operates in tandem with The Cecil Steakhouse and is also upscale and classy.
