New York's Tenement Museum focuses on America's urban immigrant history. The museum itself is the street. Our guide was excellent. He spent about an hour explaining the history of the area.
He showed us the restaurant where Trotsky ate almost every night when he lived in New York. It is now an Asian diner. He also showed us a place where there was carved into the stone the face of Karl Marx.
What an experience.
