Description:

The richly multicultural neighborhood of the Lower East Side has so many stories to tell. For 2 centuries this neighborhood has been home to newly arrived immigrants. Take a big bite out of the Big Apple with food tastings while you learn about the area's history and culture.

Delve into the heart of the Lower East Side on an immersive, small-group, guided tour. As you walk the streets, hear stories of old tenement buildings where huge families lived in cramped quarters. Learn interesting facts and see iconic sites, from the Dragon Fighters! fire station to Katz's Deli, famous for its role in When Harry Met Sally...

Step inside Eldridge Street Synagogue to meet a local historian for a tour of the building and its hidden rooms. Learn how men and women were separated here for prayer and explore the huge impact that the Jewish community has had on New York.

Enjoy other tastings along the way, including the only pickle shop left in the Lower East Side. Chat with the staff and sample local specialties, such as Chinese dumplings and traditional bagels fresh out of the oven. Top off your experience with a cup of New York coffee, a flavor that is bound to leave you wanting more.
