Tenement Bus Trip
Located in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, 97 Orchard Street was once just another run-down 19th-century tenement. Today that building forms the core of the museum, with seven apartments (along with a German beer saloon) restored to reflect the various Jewish, Italian, Irish and other multicultural working-class families who lived here. Guided tours bring their stories to life and shed light on immigration to the United States at a time when the Lower East Side was the epicenter of the City’s melting pot.
Everyone will be assigned to a tour of an immigrant experience. You will be given your tour information on the bus. While you wait for your tour, you can use your discount in the gift shop, view a documentary, or get a cup of coffee locally. The bus will depart Kingston Plaza at 8am and depart the museum at 4pm. One tour is included with your bus ticket. There will be free time to explore the area. Options for those with mobility challenges will only be offered for the museum. Link to Handout
