If you love history, and enjoy learning about the city than you MUST go here. You will get a great perspective on what it was like for yesterday's immigrants to come to NYC and how they lived and worked once here. Arrive early so you can watch some great oral history videos prior to your tour, or browse the store full of interesting books to read. The tour will take you into a tenement which has been untouched since the tenants moved out in the first half of the century - so you really get a feel for what it was like. The tour guides are knowledgeable and you will learn a lot, and have fun at the same time. The prices are so cheap! You can have fun, and learn something at the same time for under $10. Can't beat that!
Pros: Knowledgeable Staff, Authentic Museum, Cheap Prices
