 The old Lower East Side comes alive in this walking tour. Central to the tour is the Jewish neighborhood, whose teeming tenements formed the heart of the most crowded place in the late nineteenth century world, including stops before a gloriously restored historic synagogue and the Jewish-owned bank tower where struggling immigrants built their nest eggs. Briefly visit the surrounding wards, marked at the time by gangs, flophouses, homeless newsboys, and the noisy, smoke-belching elevated railway, as well as the seventeenth-century Jewish cemetery that is the oldest human burial site in Manhattan. Along the way, track unforgettable photographs by Jacob Riis and others to the exact spots they were taken, portraying the struggles and desperation of immigrant life.
PLEASE NOTE:
- Transportation to meeting spot is not provided. Students must make their own arrangements.
- Precise meeting location will be provided a few days before the event.
