1,000 Years of Lower East Side History walking tour

This exciting and insightful walking tour goes off the beaten path, exploring districts and aspects of our neighborhood most excursions overlook. Sure, we’ll discuss the tenements and immigrant experience, but we’ll go beyond the familiar narrative and cover a thousand years of important history; from Native Americans to modern-day gentrification.

Utilizing generations of insight, rare maps, photos, documents, articles and oral histories not found elsewhere, LOWER EAST SIDE HISTORY PROJECT digs deep into the neighborhood’s forgotten history.
