My favorite experience of our whole weekend in NYC. Shop at the Bookstore!!We did the tour of the Pub and then I read Orphan Train right after and it was just such a surreal experience. I loved the interactive part at the end of the tour as well. It was definitely an immersive experience and such an important reminder that we are a nation of immigrants. It’s amazing how people survived as they did, and this museum makes me so grateful to them. Great job everyone!!

Interesting museum and visits. We did both the shop life visit and a walking tour later the same day. Both were reasonably-priced and punctual, but unfortunately somewhat dry. The occasional injection of humour would have been welcomed, and, in my opinion, would have made both the visit and the walk more memorable.

Honestly, I just came here to take photos - considering that its a free exhibit, why not? It is a great photo op location, especially a little past sunset when the lampposts are lit. If youre an amateur photographer like me, its a fun place to play around with your settings and get great shots!

Very good tour. Unsettling to see how emigrants had to suffer life as bad as what they left back home. Tough times.

Amazing tours, very knowledgeable. Always a great experience.

Going to NYC every year and visiting magnificent museums, and attending great performances, you think that you will not be surprised, and yet, the tenement Museum was my great best surprise of my trip.Crossing the bring from Brooklyn, I stumbled in this intriguing museum.It is more like a living experience where guides take you thru a building sharing the stories of families that emigrated to this country and lived in that building.I found the tour very well done . Not at all a tourist destination where you feel like...ah treated with a little of disrespect “oh the tourists, the tourist in NY, but with a genuine desire to share the history of NY built by the immigrants that came and shaped this country.I will also mention that the store attached to the museum is very well designed, and has a good selection of books and well thought gifts. From books for children, to cards, to scarfs, there something for everybody. Off course, I have chosen to buy two books, one card, and a magnet. I also bought as a gift a cloth bag for my sister.

I highly recommend a visit to the tenement museum - a real piece of American history. There are several different tours covering various time periods (and therefore various immigrant waves). Amazing to see how early immigrants lived on the lower east side of New York. Many of these immigrants went on to great success. For a period of time most of the the clothes in the US were made in the lower east side. If you want to see what immigrants can offer or are just interested in the American experience this is a must see. I recommend buying tickets in advance online.

Absolutely fantastic! I cant wait to go back. My dad and I brought a business associate there for their dinner/lecture. We all loved the place. The ladies who cooked the meal were all great people and the professor who gave the lecture about the food of the area really knew his stuff. If you like American history and food you cant miss. Even if you dont go for a meal its worth a visit. The gift shop is great. The book selection was first rate.

No different how most people live today. Tenement buildings gave way to housing projects. Same problems different buildings. NYCHA.

Everything about the Tenement Museum depends on the guide helping to not only explain but engage the guest in what life must have been like. The tour guide for the Irish Immigrants tour contextualized how life must have been for this family. She (Yoshi) helped guide focused discussions about what we were seeing and helped us discover our own ideas of both how the family lived, the choices that were made within the context of that time and we were allowed to discuss how current day. immigrants are markedly similar. The Tenement Museum provides the scaffolding and the tour guide provided and helped our group explore the experience of the Tenement family.I had heard repeatedly this was a dont miss experience, yet since it opened Ive been to New York multiple times and just didnt get to this museum. Im so pleased I finally was able to get a tour and experience this museum. Most museums tend to be the, I saw that. This museum left me changed by engaging not just my sight, but also my experiences and I suspect my ancestors experiences. Thank you!!

Had not been here in over 15 years. Took my 8 year old daughter. First buy your tickets online. They have different experiences to tour and we got the last two for the Irish experience and for the day. This was 12pm for a 1:45 tour. The rest of the day was sold out. The history behind the neighborhood and building was enriching. For our Irish experience the museum had researched the Irish family living in the building at the time that the building was housing families. And was able to tell us their story. This really brought things home from my daughter because it was a real family and real experiences. Each room was made to look like a type of room with all the details like newspapers and trinkets which is missing many times in other historical tours I have been to. A must do

A unique and personal experience in small guided tours. Friendly guides who really like the history of it... not somebody reading a script. Its a real touch back to NYC of old days. A treasure.

I was fortunate to have the chance to visit the Tenement Museum recently and had a wonderful experience. I took the Irish Outsiders tour with Jim and found her to be an exceptionally gifted educator. The tour used what is known about an Irish family that lived in one of the museums buildings in the 1800s as a departure point for an informative discussion of immigration, identity, urban planning, gender, and labour both historically and in the present.

This was an amazing experience! A must visit for any NYC Trip! We did the Irish Immigrant tour, very moving and powerful. I’m sure all the tours are, especially in this society’s climate! Do not miss a chance to visit!

Extremely expensive, I was excited as a history teacher to visit this museum. Then I found out the price, $27.00 per person per floor. There are four floors. For a total of $108.00 per person. $216.00 for both my wife and I. Did I mention that I was a teacher, this price was just too much for me. Imagine I teach about the immigrant experience each year and I cannot afford to visit a museum on the subject.

The Tenement museum in New York is a must see but you have to book months in advance to make sure you can get in. They have lots of different tours. Great atmosphere inside and a really good gift shop. Definitely recommend.

An interesting take on a museum. There’s a gift shop/ticket office and lecture theatre on the corner plot but this serves as a jump-off point for guided tours of the preserved tenement on orchard street. You are met and guided around the property on themed tours that last about an hour. It’s a great way to experience and understand the history of the tenement, its residents and New York. Have no fear that the tour will be dry. It passes really quickly and the animated guides are very engaging and there’s plenty of time for questions. Given the small, dense space it’s somehow appropriate to experience the space as a group of 10 people in the small rooms. This wasn’t on the top of my list (it’s taken a dozen or more New York visits to ‘get round’ to the visit - I would recommend to others that they don’t wait as long as I did!People who find stairs a challenge should check with the museum about arrangements. Some tours involve stairs up to the top floor.

The museum is telling a good and important story about immigrants. There are many different tours offered. The tours are very focused and, therefore, very limited. Tours are the only way made available to see the museum. One needs to make reservations for a specific tour at a specific time. The one we went on moved too slowly for my liking.

Interesting insights into immigrant lives. Sobering to remember how history repeats itself! Love that the museum has authentically recreated the living conditions and left much of the built structure intact. Our guide was very informative. Well worth the visit!

Great museum that is very different than anything Ive encountered in other big cities. The Irish times tour was great and the tour guide prompted some thought provoking conversation among our small group. The apartment itself is in great shape for as old as it is, theyve done a great job maintaining it and keeping it as is without altering it too much.

This was a very unique museum experience since unlike most museums where you go to see the exhibits, this one was more about the building itself and the historical memory it aims to preserve. I give it 4 stars because if Im being completely honest, I felt that the tour was a bit overpriced and dry, and it is inconvenient that you can only go in if you make prior reservations online (which I was unaware of the first time I stopped by so my friends and I had to come back). The history of New York immigration is fascinating though, and now more than ever, I think an important one to be learning about.

Very interesting museum. Only access is with a guided tour. There are a variety of tours focusing on different topics. We took the Shop Life tour which focused on the businesses that occupied the location over the years. The guide, Lin, was excellent. Definitely plan to return.

Really interesting stories of genuine American working class families. This helped me understand more about immigrant families at times of discrimination. Very great exhibit. Worth it.

Wow! This place is amazing. We went to the Hard Times tour which was a very close look at two families who lived in the apartments we toured, how they lived, what happened to them, etc. You really were able to understand what it was like for families to live in this building during various time periods.There are multiple tours, giving you a reason to go back again and learn more about the building and the families who actually lived there.This is a must visit for NYC.

Best museum in town! Very impressive to walk around in the “original” homes of the immigrant, migrant and refugee families.Guided tours only!Our guide was excellent! She was enthusiastic and willing to answer all our questions. Thanks to her we had a very interactive visit. She motivated us to share our personal stories with the group members.

This museum only does tours, which I didn’t know but really worked out. The tour is incredibly informative and vivid. The tenement is kept in decent condition and set up in a way so that you can really immerse yourself in the history. Highly recommend.

Great museum but the tour is geared to people who dont know a lot about history. Not too in depth about the area. Trying very hard to not make American feel bad about how they have treated immigrants and still treat immigrants. I guess not too preaching is not a bad policy if they want to be apolitical. One of the beat gift store with unique NYC themed gifts.

A nice way to spend time as your are walking around New York City. Many different tours and very interesting.

This place is really great! The restored and un-restored rooms are really interesting and fun! The tour was very interesting and our guide (Lauren) was super super good! The prices was also very reasonable! Would love to come back! I would totally recommend this place to everyone!

Very interesting and a great stop. Make sure to book a tour before if you have limited time.

We did the Irish Outsiders tour and it was wonderful. My sister and I were with a cousin who grew up in Ireland. The group was sold out (12) and I believe everyone enjoyed it. It was very informative and gave us a real true feeling of what it must have been like. We became members following the tour and already have another trip planned this year.

Did the Irish Outsiders tour. Informative and knowledgeable guide, gives a real sense of what life for new immigrants was like. Try to catch the video in the museum store...very moving. Will definitely do other tours when we visit again.

Wonderful experience, learned so much about the immigrant experience and history of the Lower East Side. Simply fascinating.Very thoughtful and talented tour guides, many outdoor walking and indoor viewing tours for various mobility levels and interests.Gift shop has amazing souvenirs and ethically sourced unique items and books.

Great tour! Our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable. We were a little late and the staff was very kind and helpful, making our transition to the rest of the tour easy. We did the Hard Times tour.The museum also has the best gift shop Ive even been to. It was curated so well! Nothing was junky. Nearly everything was something I wanted. I bought a lot and regret nothing!

My wife found this little gem of a museum and it was an incredible learning and viewing experience. Between the recreated apartments and the preserved area, I left with a very different view of tenement life in the early 1900s than I had before. I also learned that a tenement is really just an apartment!

Booked on to the Under one roof tour and had a great time, found the guide to be really informative. Telling the story of 3 families from different nationalities, through their struggles in becoming part of the New York community. Very interesting and insightful, would recommend for sure.

This was such a beautiful experience. We did the “Hard Times” tour and we really enjoyed it. The story of the two families were so intimate and colourful. The guide was so passionate about his work and made sure we all felt part of the tour. We will definitely go back on our next trip to NYC.

Very interesting museum, if you like art and history come check it out when the doors open back again. It’s worth it.

This was an amazing experience, very unique. I have never been to a museum like it. I purchased the Hard Times tour and I learned so much about the economic hardships of being a woman. I loved being able to literally walk through time and visit the old units that housed the families of immigrants. They have preserved as much as possible and outhouses are still standing.

Went for the sweatshop tour and our museum educator had abundance of information and history. He spoke clearly and loud enough to be heard by everyone. So enjoyed the tour and got a sense of how other half lived in tenement buildings. I highly recommend this museum and any of the tours if visiting NYC. There is a short film one can watch in the theatre while waiting for the tour.

This has been on my NYC list for a while. I’m so glad I went.This place gave me a further appreciation for the people and history of this magnificent city—with its rich diversity, immigration, resilience, and ultimately of acceptance—through an engaging learning experience.This is not the typical museum walkabout, not like The Met, as this involves tours and semi-interactive tours in tenements and shops as they were in the early to mid 1900s.I recommend visiting their website to learn more about the tours ranging from 1-2 hours. You can just show up or buy tickets in advance if you want to plan your time to watch the 40 minute documentary of life in the Lower East side and early immigrants before your tour begins.To give you an idea, we arrived at 1pm on a Friday. There was a very short line for tickets at the gift shop. From a selection of tours on the tv screens, we decided to take the 1 hour long Hard Life tour at 2pm and watched the documentary while we waited for the tour to start. We went to the building next door to tour the apartments with belongings in situ as it would have been in 1930s. Our tour guide Ruth was engaging, funny, and knowledgeable.

The shop tour is fantastic. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. This was a highlight of my NYC visit. Gift shop has some cool books. Will return for their other tours!

We took a tour named Hard times. The guide was nice, very informative, very clear, and the story was fascinating. I think its a bit pricey but I would come back for another tour in April for sure because it was fascinating. I wish they had lower prices in the store though because I wanted to buy something to remember the place but it was all so expensive

A really worthwhile project to preserve an old tenement building and great experience to see it in the flesh. The only way to see it however is via one of five separate and individually priced tours to different rooms in the buildings. The scope of what you get to see in the building on a single tour is very small, the informational content of the tour (entirely spoken by a guide) is lightweight at best. Substantially overpriced, even by NYC standards.

My wife and I had the sweatshop worker tour. It was very informative and interesting. The organization does a massive detailed research about the lives of the people who lived in this apartment and puts them into a very interesting narratives. I wish that we could have more than one tour.

Amazing museum of a time past, yet still relevant today - immigrants, migrations, cultural change and more.Great video that runs 20 minutesWell worth the price to take a tour of the actual apartments.

Fascinating tours both inside and out (great talking tours). Tip: Get a membership - pays for itself after two tours, and they offer more than a dozen. Plus theyll reimburse online booking fee.

So cool!! Definitely worth the experience. The rooms were set up so interestingly and the tour guide was fantastic. They had so much interesting information to hear about and copies of documents to see data from the different time periods. Wicked brilliant truly a great time!

We took the 60 min Sweatshop tour which takes you the the 3rd floor of the building. Incredibly interesting history of this area and the US garment industry. A lot of locals go on these tours too because it teaches them more about the place they live in. I would definitely come back and do another tour if I was staying longer or lived here, most likely the food tour

My wife really liked it. I felt it lacking and dealing with heavy crowds for a talk that can be found on the internet or in many books. Some of the history about how the neighborhood has changed over time was very interesting however and I did like going into the basement where you could see many of the renovations over the years and the many uses the building has had.

This was such a great experience and well worth the price! We did the Building the Lower East Side walking tour and loved it. The tour was about 2 hours, our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions, beyond the basic stops on the tour. Cant wait to visit again!

Overpriced and poorly researched. I went on the Irish Outsiders tour. We saw a hallway and two small rooms. It did not give a proper historic overview of what life was really like for Irish Immigrants at that time. The guide could not answer questions on the lives of the residents. She stuck to the script but could not go beyond that. For the price of the tour I did expect a historian to be leading it. I would not recommend.

Whole new take on gift shop and the food is great. Me and my sister had a great experience when we were visiting and as we went by orchard street, we meet 2 other sisters that had been, ending swapping stories about some other cool places. great experience all round!

Really interesting experience. Took My 9th grade English class there and loved it. Units are so miniature and authentic that you can almost feel the history as the presenters tell stories if each family who occupied each unit.

Great. They have many guided tours each with a different theme so check in advance so youre sure to do the tour you want.

Great guided tours on offer here. Get some history and commentary about the neighborhood and immigration to this part of NYC. Of course a lot depends on the tour guide but in general itll give you a good sense of the modern beginnings of this up and coming part of the city. Overall a good experience. Recommend the walking tours!

A must see if you had relatives who came to this country and lived on the lower east side, or you are interested in the life of immigrants and residents of the Bowery back in the day. The building was built in the 1860’s and remains in a time capsule when it was condemned in 1935. I took the Irish immigrant tour based on a family that lived in the building on the 4th floor. Eye opening to the challenges people faced back in that time with the hardships of life. The tour did not allow pictures to be taken on the inside if the building. Docent was knowledgeable and made the tour enjoyable. Great gift shop.

So cool!! Definitely worth the experience. The rooms were set up so interestingly and the tour guide was fantastic. They had so much interesting information to hear about and copies of documents to see data from the different time periods. Wicked brilliant truly a great time!

Unwelming tours, standard knowledge what everybody knows already, little historical consistency (maybe we were unlucky with our tour guides), school girls on our tour knew more details about the history than the guides. Tour guides might be OK for younger school classes, not for adults who read books about history. What happened to the tenement building between 1935 and 1985? Several times asked never answered, remained a mystery... Loved the walk through but no guide needed unless a more than obvious and basic knowledge is presented. More sophistication and better presentations are needed.

Really fantastic museum. I took my parents because I am very interested in immigration history, but we were all amazed by how much it exceeded our expectations. This is definitely a place that brings history to life. I would put this as a top attraction to visit in New York, especially if you are looking for something beyond the usual tourist attractions. Definitely somewhere Id like to go again.

This is a totally unique experience. Highly recommended you come here. If you are interested in NY, U.S. history or just the immigrant experience give it a shot.

This museum is built of guided tours of the remains of homes of families who lived in this neighborhood from 120 years ago until the middle of the 20th century and through their lenses, a tour into the history of NYC. We picked the sweatshop tour and our excellent guide, Stefania, brought to life - through fascinating stories and questions - the daily routines, family lives, education, work, and beliefs of the those people.We will definitely come back to explore the other tours!

Excellent tours!!! This museum is definitely worth the price and time. The historical content of the tours gives you a nice perspective on the present and the future. Take the time to ask questions and visit the store afterwards, maybe get a book.

Having a background in construction makes this museum extremely interesting. Also the history behind it makes it interesting

Such an inspiring and humbling experience. Brilliantly restored building made into an impactful museum and tour. Knowledgeable tour guides and well researched material make this a must see especially if you love history or culture or even America. Moving

The guides were very informative and knowledgeable. They involve the people on the tour in order to keep adding to the history of the tenements. There are a lot of items from the time period so you can get a sense of how people lived back in the late 1800s/ early 1900s. Its a great way to go back in time so you can appreciate the hardships experienced by our ancestors.Some of the rooms had seats available in case you cant stand during the presentations.

Absolutely loved it. Great concept, very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Cant wait to go back. The shop can be over crowded.

Very interesting and impactful museum. You can only take tours but there are tours almost every 15 minutes. Most tours take about an hour, but keep in mind that it might take longer depending on the amount of questions. It’s $27 for an adult.

A wonderful experience. We did two tours, Sweatshop and Hard Times. Guides were very knowledgeable and entertaining as well. Am educational and enjoyable experience.

Really fabulous, the staff are so professional and really bring to life the stories being told. Today Elka did an amazing job on the Irish Outsiders. This is our second visit and is now top of our list whenever we visit NYC.

My grandparents emigrated from Europe in the early 20th century, as did relatives of many of my friends. We grew up in NJ, so the stories of the immigrant communities on the lower East side of Manhatten were part of our local culture. So for me, actually setting foot in a well preserved tenement was an incredible experience. It might not have the same effect on everyone. Since I was just in time for the last tour of the day I didnt get to view the video. The tour guide was personable, but some people might find the info somewhat light.

This is such a great experience. Small guided tours that make living in the the different waves of US immigration come alive. We have been here three times on different tours and each was outstanding. What surprised me was the consist quality of the tour guides. Each one we had was amazing.

Really interesting place. A bit pricey for a 75 minute tour, but overall I would recommend it. When booking tix on a phone, be careful which tour you book. I thought I was booking one and ended up with another. Ethan, our guide was great though and we ended up enjoying Shop Life quite a lot.

Anna, our tour guide/educator, was SO knowledgeable and interesting. We did the Shop Tour and learned so much. Loved the digital interactive part at the end where we got to select a historical item and learn about the history associated with it. Highly recommend!

Very cool. We did the Sweat Shop Tour. It is a walk through the home and work space of a family in the 1890’s and 1910’s. Incredible to appreciate what people coming to America had to deal with once they started their lives in NYC. The opportunity of arriving in America was mostly positive but it was not the end of the story. I liked hearing how each family dealt with their own situation they were presented with once they arrived. How they found ways to assimilate while being true to themselves and their culture. It was intriguing to get a first hand experience of the conditions under which they survived and prospered.

Interesting tour. Unlike any other museum I have ever visited. Unique glimpse into another era.

I enjoyed my visit and understand so many things about new york.... Recommended it to everyone visiting this museum

Enjoyed the ‘Buildings of the Lower East Side’ walking tour - highly recommend, especially with Alexia(?). Interesting ‘Irish Outsiders’ tour inside the tenement also. Very helpful staff who unprompted added a discount onto our tickets that we’d been unable to access when booking online and had though would not apply.

The museum is guided tour only with a plethora of different tours. This makes each tour personally based on your guide. Ours was great and dug deeper into the biopics of the families lived in the tenements themselves.The price is over priced for just an hour but they are holding on to a large chunk of generally untold or stereotyped us history that is brought to life via the tour.Would go to one of their tours again.

Highly recommend Under One Roof tour for Asian American families especially. The multicultural tour includes interviews with the Wong family whose home is toured as well as interviews with different generations of Chinese Americans in the garment industry. This kind of historic preservation and material specific to the Chinese immigrant experience in mid century America is so rare to find in the US and offers an important perspective for third and fourth generation Asian Americans who do not know much about the original hardships of the older generations.

Very cool. We did the Sweat Shop Tour. It is a walk through the home and work space of a family in the 1890’s and 1910’s. Incredible to appreciate what people coming to America had to deal with once they started their lives in NYC. The …

The museum is unique in that it felt much more focused than a typical museum which displays general information in abundance. 1 family, 1 story, a few year window of history in a well-preserved bldg. We had a good time, and I would like to go back for a different tour next time Im in NY

Museum design is something I care a great deal about, and they knocked it out of the park here.The incredible blend of preservation vs. restoration, the incredible docent guide storytellers, the fact that youre INSIDE history instead of looking at it behind velvet ropes and glare-free museum glass.....THIS is the kind of museum I dream of.Being able to sit inside one of the incredibly preserved rooms while the docent spins a yarn about a seamstress was fantastic. Since the tours only focus on a handful of rooms centered around different story lines, you could easily go a half dozen or more times and get an entirely different experience.Everything about it from beginning to end was very emotionally evocative. Having been a docent myself at film and railroad museums in the past, this kind of experience feels right at home. Immersive, memorable, brilliantly crafted and just the right kind of empathy told through a leftist lens that is surprisingly rare in the museum scene. I cant wait to go back, and Ill try to make a point of returning every time I go to NYC.

Amazing experience! Traveling the time into the life of first immigrants by visiting their apartments and listen to the stories of the guide was an experience that any humans should do and be aware of. Immigration is not about politics, it’s about humans, it’s about all of us.Hard Times tour was really worth it for a first visit. Don’t expect to take photos inside the building since it’s prohibited.

Took the Sweatshop Workers tour. Experience was everything I hoped it could be. Guide was amazing at bringing in the audience. Making us a part of the story. Beautiful job. Beautiful building. Photography not allowed in the building, see website for amazing photos.

It gives you real insight into what life was like back then. You learn the stories of actual people. I did the Sweatshop tour, and now I want to do others.

We did the Irish tenement floor. The docent was informed and enthusiastic about sharing their knowledge. Im looking forward to the visiting other floors to show the history of tenement life in NYC.

A must see and best gift shop of NYC history books! Tour guide Aaron was a wealth of knowledge. The building gives you a real feeling of the sweat shop era.

This was an amazing place to visit, but reserve your tickets in advance on the museums website, they go fast because group sizes are limited! I learned a lot on the Shop Life tour with outstanding educator who made the stories of the residents come alive. This is a must see museum in NYC, especially if you are planning on going to Ellis Island. My only complaint is that at $25, the tickets are VERY expensive compared to other NYC museums. There are no combination tickets, so each separate tour costs $25.

We took the full tour of the actual tenement apartment that has been restored. It was excellent! I loved hearing the real live stores of the people who had inhabited the building and see the apartment set up they way they had known it.

Incredible recreation of tenement life over the years on the lower East Side. Can only be toured as part of a group with a leader who, in our case, was very knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

A little pricey (at least for someone used to free museums in DC) but well worth it. They do a series of guided tours designed to immerse you in the history of the Lower East Side which has been shaped by multiple immigrant communities. The preserved spaces, the tour guides, and how they share the history through individual stories achieve this very well. Highly recommend.

This was an amazing experience. Booking a tour is vital as you cannot see the museum without a guide, but the benefit of that is that you are lead from room to room in the tenement building by an extremely knowledgeable guide. There is a lot of lively history recounted and you are encouraged to ask questions - which often have fascinating answers. Absolutely a nyc hidden gem. The gift shop is brilliant too!

Informative tour, outstanding guide.

Amazing interactive living history museum of immigration and immigrant life in NYC.There are 12 different tours to take, starting at $22 each, lasting about an hour and a half.We took 2 tours, expensive but worth itI plan to go back and do more

Transportation area great dont forget to go weaving hands on for the kids. Great place for the kids! or stroll with coffee with a date

Important place. You all need to visit it and learn. I know that it can crowded, but if you find the time when it is not you will have a very interesting experience.

Its only worth by booking one of the guided tours and probably worth trying a few of them if you can. The shop is nice too.

Absolutely recommend. Such an interesting tour! I did the shop life tour with Daryl and he was a fantastic tour guide. The tour went through a tenement beer hall. Cant wait to go back for another type of tour.

My wife and I ditched the kids for a getaway to NYC and this was our last stop before we headed back home. It did not disappoint. We did the Irish Outsiders tour and it really opened our eyes to the conditions of late 1800s New York.In short, it was incredible and I now want to do the rest of the tours to gain a wider understanding of the Lower East Side (and New York City in general) through the years.VISIT THE TENEMENT MUSEUM! It is absolutely worth it.
