We’ll explore its legacy as an immigrant neighborhood, visiting the Chinatown, Little Italy, and old Jewish and German quarters and stopping along the way into local shops run by members of these communities.Come hungry because we’ll sample some fantastic immigrant food as we learn about their culture and their culinary traditions, and how both have shaped the city and America as a whole. Trust us, you’re in for a feast and will get enough food that you won’t have to worry about packing along a lunch.From the Lower East Side we’ll then head up to Midtown, where we’ll take in the bright lights of Broadway.
