Travel Back in Time in the Tenement Museum's Basement
The Tenement Museum on New York's lower east side is known for telling the stories of American immigrants through its preservation of an abandoned tenement building found over 30 years ago. What's less known is that the lower level of the building holds even more history thanks to the museum's trash collection. From old curry powder cans to a bagel that looks like it could've been thrown out yesterday, explore the history found under the floor boards.

The Sidewalks of New York: The Documentary (CC)
This film is a documentary that begins with the tale of the famous tune and builds every moment toward the fascinating story behind Governor Al Smith, the most forgotten historical figure in American history. The elections of 1924 and 1928 are featured prominently in the story's second half, and along the way a handful of songs from the same time period are played to portray that, while this film is somewhat about the tune 'The Sidewalks of New York', the other songs do their part to lift up and bring the story home, all joining together to complete one of the most inspiring tales in New York history.
To watch with music at a slightly lower volume:
Corrections and updates:
- Joshua Beal (not Joseph) is the proper credit for the panoramic photograph
- Angel Guastaferro performed Pretty Jennie Slattery on piano
- Al Smith's wife Catherine, known as Katie, died several months before Al did, not just one week
- William Wordsworth originally coined the Happy Warrior words
Castlegarden, New York
Castlegarden, in what is now Battery park, in New York City was the primary processing site for immigrants to New York State - and beyond - from the 1830s until Ellis Island opened in the 1890s.

New York City ghetto fish market
SUMMARY
The view, photographed from an elevated camera position, looks down on a very crowded New York City street market. Rows of pushcarts and street vendors' vehicles can be seen. The precise location is difficult to ascertain, but it is certainly on the Lower East Side, probably on or near Hester Street, which at the turn of the century was the center of commerce for New York's Jewish ghetto. Located south of Houston Street and east of the Bowery, the ghetto population was predominantly Russian, but included immigrants from Austria, Germany, Rumania and Turkey. According to a description in a 1901 newspaper, an estimated 1,500 pushcart peddlers were licensed to sell wares (primarily fish) in the vicinity of Hester Street. At one point the film seems to follow three official looking men (one in a uniform) as they walk among the crowd. They may be New York City health inspectors, who apparently monitored the fish vendors closely.
From a contemporary Edison film company catalog: NEW YORK GHETTO FISH-MARKET. A fine panoramic view of this busy market on a Friday morning. Immense throngs of people are seen passing along the stands and making their selections of fish. A great character study. Code word Uramilique [code for telegraphic orders]. Length 165 feet. Class B. $19.80.

Centuries of art from across the world
With your expert guide, you'll traverse not just the best of the Met, but the history of art and civilization too. You'll see the Temple of Dendur, transplanted here from Egypt; appreciate Impressionist artworks by masters like Monet; learn about Ancient Egyptian burial rites at a fully-intact tomb; and visit an Ancient Roman bedroom that survived the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79AD, which destroyed the city of Pompeii.
We'll get closer to home with 'Washington Crossing the Delaware', one of the most recognizable artworks in the US; and visit a breathtaking collection from New Guinea, where you'll hear the story of the adventurous Michael Rockefeller and learn the shocking story behind his mysterious disappearance.
A world-class collection, deconstructed
New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art is home to perhaps the world's most comprehensive art collection. The museum was created by a group of citizens whose mission was to open up a world of art to all Americans, with the firm belief that incredible art would open minds and doors for all those who visited. With that intention in mind and the slogan 'One Met, Many Worlds' the museum has collected works from across the globe, by world-famous artists such as Raphael, Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Picasso and Vermeer.
Spread across 2 million sq. ft. (that's 31 football fields!) this massive collection can be a little intimidating – but not when you walk with us. We've carefully crafted a route through the best rooms, across 5,000 years and five continents, so you meet the Met in the most manageable, understandable way.
Intimate, relaxed, educational and fun
By limiting our group sizes to only 15 people or fewer we've ensured that your experience will be relaxed and informal, your guide easy to interact with. So our Met Museum tours are more like time spent with friends than a lecture.
With pre-arranged Met Museum tickets including a donation, you'll skip general entry ticket lines. Meanwhile our team of expert guides – passionate about the history and art of the Met, and about sharing that with you – are the perfect hosts.
Join us on a fun, interactive journey through the many worlds of the Met, for a museum experience quite unlike any other.

Five Points & Nineteenth Century New York with Tyler Anbinder
How accurate was Martin Scorsese in his depiction of Five Points for his major movie Gangs of New York?
Tyler Anbinder, consulted on the film and tells us what's true... what's movie magic... and why (1:01.30). He spoke at St. Francis College on February 27, 2018 as part of the Spring 2018 Senior Citizen Lecture Series, From New Nation to World Power: Culture, Politics, and Society in the United States, 1789-1896.
Anbinder is Professor of History at George Washington University. He has written extensively on the history of New York City, including Five Points: The 19th Century New York City Neighborhood That Invented Tap Dance, Stole Elections, and Became the World's Most Notorious Slum; Nativism and Slavery: The Northern Know-Nothings and the Politics of the 1850s; and City of Dreams: The 400 Year Epic History of Immigrant New York. Five Points was named a Notable Book by the New York Times (2001) and one of Twenty-Five Books to Remember by the New York Public Library (2001).
Speakers for the series, From New Nation to World Power, are programmed by History Professor Sara Rzeszutek.
