Your walking tour of the Lower East Side takes place on Tuesday, December 1st. We will leave after math class and take a bus to the Lower East Side Tenement Museum. After our program there you will meet the parents who are coming along at the museum’s visitor’s center and head off checking out places for our online guide book.
You have received two assignments as a group: a lunch stop and a dessert stop. While at both be sure to take notes, collect information (menus, business cards, etc), and get a good sense of the place so you will be able to write it up back in school for the guidebook. Otherwise, have fun checking out the neighborhood — and look for other signs of immigration — try to find one new place for us to add to the guidebook. We need places of worship, shops, and other places like that.
Last year Pauline Frommer told us about her research for the guide books she writes. She pointed out that it is important for you to see what you can learn about these for others. (Don’t just say the food is “yummy.” Give us a sense of what the place looks and feels like as well as what the food is like for others — even those whose taste may be different from yours.). You are the second class to do this map and so we are counting on you to make it really worthwhile for others to use!
Here are the assignments. Please go in the order given (as there is no way you can all be at Economy Candy at the same time).
- Group 1: Rosario’s Pizza (for lunch), Economy Candy, and Cafe Roma (for dessert)
- Group 2: Economy Candy, Grand Italian Food Center (for lunch) and Ceci Cela Cafe (for dessert)
- Group 3: Economy Candy, Nyonya Cafe (for lunch), Sugar Sweet Sunshine (for dessert)
