Experience History at the Lower East Side Tenement Museum

Manhattan's Lower East Side breathes with the stories of thousands of immigrants seeking a better life, and you won't find a more fascinating depiction of tenement life than at the Lower East Side Tenement Museum, just one of the hundreds of heritage sites to be found on Gozaic.



Upcoming "Tenement Talks" include a night with New York Times reporter William Grimes on November 4. Grimes will explore the culinary heritage of the Lower East Side's eateries, from humble dives to world-class fine dining. On November 10, author Edward Rutherford will give a book reading, and on November 12, the Tenement Museum gives visitors like you the opportunity to share 3-minute stories about New York tenement life. November 17 brings Pulitzer Prize-winning architecture critic Paul Goldberger to the Tenement Museum to discuss "Why Architecture Matters."

With the aid of over 2,000 artifacts, archival documents and oral histories, and of course the well-preserved buildings themselves, get a feel for life on Orchard Street, and catch a glimpse of the American Dream.
