The Mystique Of New York’s Lower East Side
Tenement Museum
July 12, 2018July 11, 2018 David Gordon Fried
The Lower East Side Tenement Museum in New York is
one of the most well-loved historical spots in New York,
and for good reason. It is both a museum and a national
park, and has been a for non-New Yorkers to learn more
about the history of the iconic city.
The area used to be home to over 7,000 residents from 20
countries from 1863 to 1935, and the building itself was a
shelter for Jews who lived in cramped spaces.
Visitors and guests can join a number of tours, which take
them back in time so they too might see and experience
how people of the tenement lived back in the day. There
are costumed actors posing as immigrants from the era.
It is quite easy to see why tourists have taken such a liking
to the museum. It is both well-preserved and maintained.
Even the food that is served in the museum has been made
to look and taste like the meals prepared in the decades of
immigrant residency.
Guests can also visit the Jarmulowsky Bank, the bank
wherein immigrants deposited and lost all their money.
The fully-interactive museum is as historically significant
as any place you will ever see in the Big Apple, and a
testament to the hardships and resiliency of the Jewish
community in the 20th century.
