This new walking tour explores how some LES buildings have changed their original purpose -evolving to accommodate a changing neighborhood
About this Event

Many Landmark worthy buildings dotted the Lower East Side during the iconic period of immigrant Jewish settlement. Many survived, but have been repurposed to meet contemporary needs and fashion as the neighborhood evolved -and still continues to change.

Join our architectural specialist, Urban Historian Barry Feldman, as he revisits several of these buildings: The Forward, Educational Alliance, Jarmulowsky Bank, Eldridge Street Synagogue, and others , for a discussion of the original mission of each building and how it compares to their current status. This NEW walking tour lasts approximately 2 hours and has a fair amount of walking, and we tour RAIN OR SHINE.

In order to enable you to hear the guide, we will be using an app for smart phones. Bring earphones for your cell.

As a courtesy to others, mask wearing is encouraged but not required since the tour is outside.

If you are not feeling well, DO NOT ATTEND. If you have been exposed to anyone with symptoms of the virus DO NOT ATTEND. Call our office and arrangements will be made to either have your money refunded, or you will be issued a credit with no expiration date.

The price of this tour is $27 for Adults, $25 for Seniors, and $24 for students . Tickets will be an additional $3PP on the day of the tour - pending availability as we will be restricting registration to 35 people.
