Lower East Side Tenement

Just had a look at their website and it is slightly confusing. I realise you have to prebook, but could you book one tour to immediately follow another?

 

Would also appreciate thoughts on which are the best tours. And what about the 'Meet the Residents' or the walking tours?

Yes you can book 2 tours.

 

However each tour usually does 2 immigrant groups

 

Our tour did Italian and Russian Jewish immigrants

 

 

We saw a total of 3 apts.....Sicilian.....Russian.....and another I believe That was really really run down

 

 

The museum is incredible and you will tear up

We just returned from NYC and did the Irish Immigrants, which is on the 4th floor. This tour was 1 hr long. We saw an apt in decay, and then an apt decorated as it was when the Irish immigrants lived there. It's a long walk up to the 4th floor and there is no elevator, just FYI.

 

A few years ago we did the Hard Times tour which was 2 hrs long. It showed apts on the 2nd floor, one of Jewish immigrants and the other Italian immigrants.

 

This is really a worthwhile museum to visit with lots of history attached.
