Lower East Side Experience

Overview

The skyline and Statue of Liberty of New York have long served as images of hope and promise to those immigrating to America, but few neighborhoods truly capture the stories of an immigrant people and their hard-wrought existence than the densely packed Lower East Side. On this walking tour, we’ll delve into the stories of Eastern-European Jewish immigrants and understand their struggle to thrive in crowded early 20th century New York City.

Your local guide will show you what life was like in the often-squalid tenement buildings that still stand today. To fully immerse you in the scene, you’ll get to try out delicious foods that were brought here by these first waves of immigrants, from knishes and pickles to bialys and babka. You’ll learn about the origins of these traditional snack foods and the disparate Jewish communities with which they are connected.
