Exploring 97 Orchard Street<br />
Exclusive evening program<br />
This behind-the-scenes tour explores the architectural layers of history buried in the tenement’s<br />
physical fabric. Learn how legislation and fashion spurred landlords and tenants to leave their<br />
mark on the building, and how paint experts, wallpaper conservators, and urban archeologists<br />
“read” these layers to uncover 97 Orchard’s stories.<br />
WALK<br />
THE NEIGHBORHOOD<br />
Outside the Home<br />
See the <strong>Lower</strong> <strong>East</strong> <strong>Side</strong> through the eyes of the immigrants who have lived here for 150 years.<br />
Discover the towering Jarmulowsky Bank building, where immigrants deposited (and eventually<br />
lost) their life savings; the Forward building, where socialists fought for worker rights; and PS 42,<br />
where generations of immigrants learned how to be “American.”This tour does not enter any<br />
buildings.<br />
Then and Now<br />
For generations of immigrants, the <strong>Lower</strong> <strong>East</strong> <strong>Side</strong> wasn’t just a place to find a cheap home. It<br />
was also where they learned how to start a business, build a congregation, educate their children,<br />
and lobby the government. Discover the fascinating history of this neighborhood and find out why<br />
it’s such an ever-changing mix of the old and the new. This tour does not enter any buildings.<br />
Foods of the <strong>Lower</strong> <strong>East</strong> <strong>Side</strong><br />
Taste dumplings, fried plantains, cream puffs, and more while exploring how the immigrant<br />
experience has shaped American food. Indoor and outdoor versions of this tour are available.<br />
