New York City Unanchor Travel Guide - New York City's Lower East Side, 1 Day Tour Itinerary

You've visited New York City before and already crossed the Statue of Liberty and Times Square off your list… now you’re ready for a detour off the beaten tourist path. After pushing past the crowds at Rockefeller Center, explore the as-yet-undiscovered Lower East Side (the historical heart of New York City) with the locals!

As the up and coming epicenter of downtown cool, the Lower East Side remains off the tourist radar- but without the double decker buses and tour groups, how can you be sure of the must see’s, eat’s, and do’s?

Did you know that the neighborhood’s swankiest lounge hides behind the unlabeled door of a pawn shop? That an actual tenement building from 1836 is open for you to get a glimpse of urban immigrant life? Or that the finest cup of coffee in downtown is served via a Willy Wonka-esque Javabot? Learn more with this step-by-step, sun-up to way-past-sundown guide, and discover the untapped Lower East Side.

In addition to a full day (12+ hours of scheduled activity, if you can handle it!) exploring the sights, sounds, and tastes of the Lower East Side, you’ll also find a ‘bonus track’ to get you started the next morning.

I want you to love the cultural mecca that is the Lower East Side the way that I do. Which is why I’ve included my personal email address in the itinerary. Questions?
