Tour and Tasting in the Lower East Side, Chinatown & Little Italy

Overview

Once one of the most densely populated districts in the world, Chinatown, Little Italy and the Lower East Side of Manhattan have witnessed numerous changes during the past hundred years. This walking tour is a resourceful glimpse into the past, with stops at some off-the beaten track locations. The tour will focus on a few of the remaining vestiges and surviving structures of this era of immigration and offer a taste of the delectable flavors of each neighborhood.

This tour will review the reasons each of these groups left their homelands and the impact they had on the history of New York City. \ We will start at Columbus Park in Chinatown which was the initial site of the famous “Five Points.”

After exploring Chinatown and eating tasty dumplings, we’ll move to Little Italy to see some sites and sample some traditional dishes. We’ll then move on to the Lower East Side to learn its history and sample authentic Jewish food.
