Sachie & Eri in New York City Day 1

On her first day in New York City started visiting The Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem. Founded in 1808, the Abyssinian Baptist church remains the center of Harlem gospel tradition.
On Sunday, many tourists lined up to participate in the special worship on Father's day.
