The tour&nbsp;walks the streets of Little Italy just as Lucky Luciano might have a century ago. Then you&#39;ll walk past former and still operating synagogues and Jewish clothing stores. The tour&nbsp;dives into the rich culture remembered at places such as the Lower East Side Tenement Museum and the African Burial Ground, and the exciting streets of Chinatown, where you feel like you&rsquo;re in Shanghai!

Local Impact: How you will help the local community by joining this tour:

<ul>
	<li>On this tour, you will learn about the importance of immigration to the city (and country) and visit immigrant-owned businesses.</li>
	<li>Your tour promotes important cultural and historic New York foods (like a knish or bialy) that are less popular with a younger generation and are slowly dying off.</li>
	<li>The neighborhoods you visit are changing due to big development and large corporations, but your guide will discuss the impacts of this and focus on the importance of bringing business to the historic local businesses that are slowly disappearing due to gentrification.</li>
