Lower East Side Tenement Museum, New York

My older daughter had to visit a NY site that was important in NY history. I suggested the Tenement Museum from what I had heard about it in the past. My 2 daughters and I went (very easy to get to using public transportation) and it was an eye opening experience. We took the Confino apartment tour. There was 1 man who joined our group and the 4 of us became an instant family. We were given a look at what life was like. Our clothes were not appropriate; we would need to find jobs that paid well; we were told to take in borders to help pay for the rent, since we had such a small family... A look at what (little) they had made you appreciate all that we do have today. It was great and we're already planning another trip back to go on one of the other tours offered.
