Visite guidée de Lower East Side, Chinatown et Little Italy en français
Description
Lors de cette visite guidée de Lower East Side, Chinatown et Little Italy nous vous proposons de découvrir trois quartiers historiques de New York qui se ressemblent par leur unité architecturale autant qu’ils se distinguent par leur diversité sociale, religieuse et culturelle. Nos guides français, expatriés à New York depuis des années, ont a cœur de vous faire passer un moment convivial et rempli de découvertes originales !

Itinéraire
Le Lower East Side a nourri les intrigues de films aussi célèbres que Gangs of New York et Il était une fois en Amérique. C’est aux origines de la ville, à l’histoire des immigrants, de la mafia et de la prohibition, mais aussi aux défis de l’urbanisation et du vivre ensemble que vous convie la visite guidée de ce quartier. Le Lower East Side d’aujourd’hui ravira autant les amateurs d’art (street art et galeries d’art prolifèrent depuis quelques années) que ceux qui sont en quête de bons plans restos et bars dont le quartier regorge.
Chinatown vous plongera dans une ambiance aux codes radicalement différents, avec de nombreux commerces de bouche (primeurs, poissonniers…), de petits ateliers de confection… ou encore Columbus Park, l’ancien site de Five Points, où les locaux se rendent aujourd’hui pour se promener, jouer au xianqui (échecs chinois) ou pratiquer le tai-chi-chuan…
Enfin, et même si sa surface s’est réduite comme peau de chagrin, Little Italy reste le quartier historique de la communauté italienne. Mulberry Street concentre un grand nombre de restaurants et d’épiceries fines. Cette rue emblématique arbore fièrement les couleurs de l’Italie et accueille chaque année les festivités de San Gennaro.

A visit with our guide Audrey that was just perfect. Places to discover, anecdotes, explanations about "life before and now" with dynamism, a smile, and mastery while being attentive.. Thank you Audrey for this lovely afternoon🙏
Our guide Fred was super nice, interesting, and mastered his subject very well
Today visit the Lower East Side with Aymeric and it was an absolutely great experience. From the first few minutes, you can feel his passion for New York, its history and its iconic neighborhoods. The tour was captivating, full of anecdotes, discoveries and places we would never have found alone. Aymeric is a passionate guide, very pleasant and incredibly cultured. He knows how to convey the unique atmosphere of the neighborhood while making the visit lively and accessible. We had a great time from start to finish. We had already visited Harlem with Aymeric and it was so good that we decided to book the Lower East Side too. And again, we were not disappointed. Two great experiences, always with the same passion, the same energy and a real desire to discover New York differently. We recommend Aymeric without hesitation!
A really successful experience. Aymeric, our guide, captivated everyone — even our two teenagers — with his vivid explanations and storytelling. The visit was well overdue (more than 35 additional minutes). One of the cool moments was the discovery of period photos illustrating the life of migrants arriving in New York at the beginning of the 20th century: their living conditions, their hopes, their difficulties. An informative, humane and very accessible tour that allowed us to see New York differently.
Very interesting visit with Guillaume who knew how to make our afternoon very attractive thanks to many anecdotes.
Great experience. A very, very big thank you to Fred for his sharing, his listening, his availability. I highly recommend NY in French!
Narrative immersion supported by photos in the neighborhoods. Fred didn't count the time and hesitated to share his French life with us in NY.:) Documentaries recovered in passing to illustrate the era of the Italian mafia (mob) in NY.
Great private tour in group with FRED an extraordinary guide that takes you through the neighborhoods visited through anecdotes and unusual visits! really really to do!
History, anecdotes, all with fun! We had a great time with Fred in the heart of lower East side and chinatown. He made us discover great places (ex the candy shop).
A great visit, we learned a lot of very interesting things about these neighborhoods. The guide answered all our questions about neighborhoods and life in New York if I had to recommend a guide, it would be Guillaume!
