Join us for a tour for photographers, by photographers!

In the spirit of the Museum at Eldridge Street’s 1975 photo exhibition, venture out into the ever-changing Lower East Side and capture the streetscape 50 years later!

Over the course of many months in 1975, a young NYU student named Richard Marc Sakols set out to document the Jewish Lower East Side in flux. By the 1970s, the number of Jewish immigrants moving out of the area failed to match the number moving in. At the same time, new arrivals, notably those from Latin America and China, along with a bevy of young artists drawn by low rents, ushered in a new chapter of the Lower East Side story.

Bring your camera, and join Museum at Eldridge Street educators and photographers, as we venture out into the Lower East Side of 2025 and see the streetscapes Sakols captured in 1975 as they are today.
