Tenement, take two, by Ramona
I went back to the Tenement museum yesterday for a second time. The first visit felt abrupt, as if there was more we didn??t get to. I was left hungry to find out more, curious to see more rooms how can you have a staircase beckoning and not even peek upstairs? Somehow, I ended up on the same tour the second time through. Part of me wished I was on the other leg, but part of me was also thankful for the chance to experience the tour a second time, with a different guide, at a different time o

Architectural History
Architectural History February 12th, 2008 Ninety-seven Orchard Street and its neighbors on either side nos. 95 and 99 were built in 1863-64. They were the first tenements on the block and replaced a Presbyterian Church, reflecting the changing ethnicity of the neighborhood - from American-born largely of English, Scottish, and Protestant Irish descent to German-born residents. Ninety-seven Orchard is a five-story brick building decorated with ???Italianate-style??? architectural elements. Th

Charles Edward??s Two Rounds of the Tenement Museum
So, after going to the tenement museum with our class, getting the special tour from the vice-president, and really enjoying my experience, I decided to come back a few days later. First things first, my initial impression was the strange activity of entering a building, standing cluttered together in what appears to be a gift shop, only to turn around and leave that same building a few moments later. It??s certainly interesting to have the first activity of the tour be waling on the streets of

PlantTherapy: Cotton and the Flower Girl on Orchard Street
Last Tuesday, as the snow came down, I found myself way over on the east side on Orchard Street. In the window at the denim shop Earnest Sewn, which has taken over the corner retail space of the old Tenement Museum Shop, there was a large container of cotton branches. It was a great prop for a denim shop- but it was more than that. Tucked away in the back of the store they have a florist... - To All PlantTherapy Posts - The two pictures, below, are of Orchard and Broome from inside 88 Orchard

Seeing Red
After all that Valentine's Day posting yesterday, thought I'd share some red of a different sort today. On Feb. 28, six of the amazing teen women from the collection Red: The Next Generation of American Writers??Teenage Girls??on What Fires Up Their Lives Today will be at the Tenement Museum Shop here in NYC. Many of these girls, daughters of immigrants and daughters of New York, will read from their published work and be introduced by their editor, Amy Goldwasser. I heard the girls read at the b

Day 9 - let it snow
It snowed and it snowed, and it just kept on snowing. I??d not seen anything like it for a decade, so equipped with over half my current wardrobe to keep me warm, I braved the weather to go to Central Park it was on my to-do list anyway, figured it might be quite nice in the snow. How wrong I was. It wasn??t nice at all. It was absolutely stunningly beautiful. I??m not even going to bother blogging about my trips to Staten Island and the Lower East Side Tenement Museum educative though it was

Edinburgh
Once in Edinburgh, I want to stay mostly in Old Town. I'll chalk it up to being a die-hard history buff, but I just have very little use for the new and the modern when in such a historic place. Don't get me wrong, the shopping in Edinburgh is spectacular, but I can shop for FCUK and Diesel online. So, what does one see in Old Town? you ask. Well, have no fear, I will tell you. Obviously, the Edinburgh Castle is a must see. Built on top of an ancient volcano, it is the most well-fortified fort

Three Tenement Reviews, by Ramona
Adult couple, early 60??s This couple was on my tour of the Tenement Museum. They were on vacation, well dressed, and very ???up??? for this experience. Their anticipation was almost as though they were going to see a concert, or a show, they genuinely appeared excited, crossing the street from the gift shop to the Tenement building. Inside, they were actively involved. When the guide asked the group to look around the lobby, the woman pointed out the ???beautiful handiwork and mouldings??? on the wall

Privies at 97 Orchard Street
Privies at 97 Orchard Street February 12th, 2008 While most of the buildings on the Lower East Side during the mid-nineteenth century had primitive privy pits, 97 Orchard Street featured a more modern sewer-connected privy. Sewer-connected privies consisted of a hopper, or funnel, that rose out of the floor and allowed waste to drop below. The hopper led to a water-filled trough or vault, which was periodically flushed into the sewer. In the 1860s, inspectors with the Metropolitan Board of He
