About

Take in the sights, mesmerizing aromas, and mouthwatering noshes of the Lower East Side as Ben expertly guides you through this historic neighborhood where eating great food is a tradition. Since the early 1800’s, this area has been home to immigrants starting a new life in America who have made key cultural, economic, and epicurean contributions to New York City.

This 2 ½ Hour Lower East Side Tour includes:

• Narrated history of The Lower East Side by Ben
• A complimentary New York Everything Bagel
• Plenty of photo opportunities and insightful information
• And so much more!

Now, a new wave of immigrants, the hipsters, not from across the sea but from New York itself, are moving in and dramatically changing the "scene” of the Lower East Side. Get a feel for the old tenements and the new lifestyles. Experience it all from yesteryear’s Yonah Shimmel’s Knish Bakery, Katz’s Deli, and Russ and Daughters appetizing food to the latest bars, restaurants, and trendy hot-spots!

Bagel Tour Tidbits:

• Did you know? During World War II, Katz’s Deli was on a mission to send salamis to troops overseas to give them a taste of home, and this popular slogan was born; “Send a salami to your boy in the army!”
• Did you know? Hundreds of small bagel bakeries, mostly in basements, once inhabited the Lower East Side. Today Kossar’s Bialys still remains on Grand Street and continues to bake on premises today.
