You stay at home, and we'll do the same, and together we can "experience" New York City virtually. We'll bring the news over to you and share any interesting information from the Big Apple including any new virtual tours/visits that you can take from the safety (and comfort) of your own home!
Some
Virtual Tours and Experiences that recently launched include
walking down the streets of NYC to discover some
Street Art, enter the most
important museums, listen to
concerts and classical music, or maybe have fun and keep yourself informed and updated with our
very own Irene and
her NEW YouTube CHANNEL!
But let's see some of these Virtual Experiences together:

The Great Depression 1929 - Immigration - COVID-19
Three different topics, different historical periods but many similarities. At #97 of Orchard Street, we find the Tenement Museum (the historic tenement house that has become a museum), we are in the Lower East Side. It tells the story of immigration and the life of those who lived there during the Great Depression. Guess who lived there from 1928 to 1935? As soon as the Museum reopens, we will do a Live Tour on our Facebook page ... for now, you can read its History from 1864.
The Metropolitan Opera
You can stream a different encore presentation every evening, all available on the Met Website for 23 hours, from 7:30 PM until 6:30 PM the following day. For example, if you log in, Rossini's Il Barbiere di Siviglia is scheduled for March 31st and Verdi's Don Carlo on April 2nd.
