Bolighistorie og indvandrerliv i Lower East Side
Beskrivelse
Fra Five Points og Mulberry Bend gennem de italienske og jødiske indvandrerbølger, og endelig hvad er dagens Chinatown, udforsker denne tur udviklingen af et rustikt landskab af søer og gårde til det, der blev det mest tæt overfyldte kvarter på jorden for knap 100 år siden . Den trinvise trinvise proces med at sætte behovet for passende boliger over drivkraften til fortjeneste for at huse de fattige indvandrere, fra sygdomsberetede kælderboder i tumble down shanties. til præ-, old- og new law tenements, bruger denne tour billeder til at vise, hvad der ikke længere er der, og finder hvad der fortsætter med at stå i gadevæggene i dag for at fortælle den uhyre rige, tragiske og fortabende historie om New Yorks Lower East Side.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Vi begynder ved de tidligere steder i The Five Points-kvarteret og Mulberry Bend, engang berygtede slumkvarterer i New York Citys historie. Fokus er på "lejemålet", de tidlige specialbyggede boliger til arbejderklassen, for det meste fattige indvandrere, hvis historie begynder ikke langt fra dette sted.
Jacob Riis og hans banebrydende værk, How the Other Half Lives, hjælper med at levendegøre de tidligere samfund, der engang besatte stedet for nutidens Columbus Park, mellem Chinatown og Court District.
Hjertet af turen er langs blokkene i Lower East Side og de non-stop lejemålsbygninger, der spredte sig i Lower East Side fra midten af det 19. til det tidlige 20. århundrede. Ikke alle lejemål var forbundet med slumsamfund, selvom levevilkårene kunne være hårde. Vi vil identificere forskellige lejemålstyper fra forskellige epoker og være vidne til den årtier lange proces med lejemålsudvikling efter fremrykkende love.
Vi vil have en fantastisk udsigt over den kommunale bygning og Woolworth Building East Broadway, en af Chinatowns mest pulserende gadescener med skjulte historiske perler.
Et af de smukkeste bygningsværker i byen, The Eldridge Street Synagogue begynder diskussionen om den jødiske oplevelse i Lower East Side, der ligesom de massive immigrantbølger foran dem har deres egen unikke historie at fortælle.
En af de første parker i nabolaget. Det var så overfyldt på åbningsdagen, at det kun var ståpladser. Her en række billeder fra Jacob Riis' How the Other Half Lives bringer fortiden til live.
En avis, der var en institution for det jødiske samfund.
Vi passerer på bagsiden af museet, hvor de replikerer lejemål. Udhus og tøjlinje hjælper med at transportere en tilbage i tiden.
DeLancey Street var fortidens rabatcenter for tøj.
Badehuset Allen Street fungerede som sådan fra 1905 til 1975 sammen med omkring et dusin i området. Denne holdt længst og blev omdannet til kirke.
Vi afslutter turen på taget af Hotel Indigo. Her vil vi være i stand til at se et fugleperspektiv af de forskellige lejemålstyper sammen med en spektakulær udsigt over Midtown, en perfekt måde at afslutte turen på.

Excellent tour by an excellent guide. He was so knowledgeable about everything about the neighborhoods we visited and New York City in general and obviously loves what he does. Exactly what I was hoping for.
Thank you for the great review!
The ad talks about Tenement Museum but it has nothing to do with the museum. The meeting place is Foley Square which is more than a mile away from the Tenement Museum. When we arrived at Foley Square there was a union rally going on and nobody to guide this tour. TOTAL SCAM.
I'm sorry about your experience. In the future please read any correspondence you may receive regarding your booking as I always alert customers that this tour is often mistaken for the Tenement Museum. The tour started half an hour before the union meeting, but you were late because you went to the museum. I try very hard to avoid these situations but all I can do is contact people beforehand. Had you contacted me, of course I would have refunded you.
Rob is awesome, he went beyond the call of duty.
Thank you, I hope to see you again!
Very informative, interesting. We learned a lot about the history of the city and we will never walk thru the tenement district again without looking up!
Thanks for the great review! I hope to see you again!
Our tour guide, Rob, is definitely an expert in the area’s history. He came prepared with 2 binders of pictures so we could see the development of the different neighborhoods. We were able to really get a feel for the different cultures and decades of life in this area.
Thank you for the great review! I hope to see you again!
Our guide Rob is extremely knowledgeable about the history and geography of New York. He provided a torrent of information about tenements, of course, but also about the overall development of New York and the immigration to New York of the Irish, Italians, Jews and Germans and the migration of the Blacks from the south. After taking this tour, I see things in New York that I never appreciated or understood before. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in the history of New York or in urban history in general. Note that while the walking pace for this tour is reasonable, you will walk a couple of miles or so.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed and thoughtful review. It was a pleasure talking you around and I hope to see you again!
My wife and I really enjoyed this tour. While the tour is focused on tenements, our guide Rob provided us with a vast amount of information on New York’s immigrants, history and geography. I highly recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in urban history in general, or in New York’s history in particular. Note that while the tour’s walking pace is not fast, you will wind up walking a couple of miles or so.
Rob was a great guide. His knowledge was amazing! We loved his maps, charts, articles and pictures of how it was. He accommodated everyone’s pace. His stories were entertaining.
Thank you for the review and I hope to see you again!
Excellent tour guide and tour

Thank you for the review, I hope to see you again!
