About

At the turn of the 20th century, NY's Lower East Side was the most crowded place on Earth.

Jews arrived in what was then called New Amsterdam in the 1650's. Along our route, we will see a huge part of the history of the 20th century and how the Jewish people have helped to shape that history.

This private walk shows the historic sites of NY's Lower East Side. We will meet and start our walk, there.

Highlights include:

• Food at the start, food at the end, History in between.
• A former shul that is now a residence
