Event
NY Nosh Food Tour
From the 1890s to the 1940s, the Jewish Lower East Side was teeming with nearly a half million Eastern European Jews. Streets were packed with pushcarts and people. Although living and working conditions were difficult, the Jewish immigrants were able to practice their religion openly. There was a strong sense of family and community, which can still be seen today. Many of the shops we visit have been in the neighborhood for over 70 years and are owned by the original families.
You will learn the meaning of Kosher, and what food items are not Kosher and why.
