Tenement Museum

I'm trying to carry on the momentum of discovering New York that I had last semester with the fabulous History of the City of New York class. Today I went to the Tenement Museum with Sampada - its an old tenement building on Orchard Street in the Lower East Side. They are tracing the stories of the 7000 (!) people that passed through there between the 1870's and 1931. The museum shows how hard the lives of the people that lived there were - but also tells a lot of interesting stories on the way.

Damn -forgot my camera.
