Food & History of the Lower East Side

Through Devour Tours, we kibbitz & nosh our way through a neighborhood that began as a home to Jewish, Italian, Puerto Rican, Chinese, and other immigrants who created the multicultural tapestry that is NYC and is now… well, a great example of lively gentrification.
