After immersing ourselves in the world of art, we’ll transport back in time to the extravagant Gilded Age on a walking tour of Fifth Avenue mansions, expertly curated by The Bowery Boys podcast. Discover the hidden stories behind these majestic buildings, some have been repurposed over the years and some have been demolished.

September 14- Today we see how New York City’s other half lived at The Tenement Museum. This museum, filled with emotion, narrates the journey of millions of immigrants seeking a better life in America. They found themselves cramped in the tenements of lower Manhattan while constructing the city’s towering skyline. During our tour, we will explore an apartment from the early 20th century.

But our lower Manhattan adventure doesn’t end there! Join us for another captivating walk through Lower Manhattan curated by The Bowery Boys.

We begin our day with a visit to Liberty Island where we can get up close and personal with the Statue of Liberty! Walk the perimeter of the island taking in the city skyline views and visit the new museum dedicated to the statue before boarding the ferry once again. 

Next, we visit Ellis Island, the initial destination for immigrants arriving in America from 1892 to 1954. This site processed millions of immigrants and now serves as a museum, shedding light on the challenging journey these individuals faced upon arrival. Through their personal belongings and stories, we gain insight into their experiences and leave with a deeper respect for our ancestors who paved the way.

It’s time to bid farewell, but not before enjoying one final dinner with our newfound best friends! Our dining destination is the renowned Delmonico’s, known for its prominence during the Gilded Age.
