During this guided tour of the Lower East Side, Chinatown and Little Italy, we invite you to discover three historic districts of New York that are alike in architectural unity as much as they are distinguished by their social, religious and cultural diversity. Our French guides, expatriates in New York for years, are keen to make you spend a friendly moment full of original discoveries!
The Lower East Side has fueled the storylines of films as famous as Gangs of New York and Once Upon a Time in America. It is to the origins of the city, to the history of immigrants, the Mafia and prohibition, but also to the challenges of urbanization and living together that the guided tour of this district invites you.
Today’s Lower East Side will delight both art lovers (street art and art galleries have proliferated in recent years) and those looking for great restaurants and bars in the area.

Finally, and even though its surface area has shrunk, Little Italy remains the historic district of the Italian community. Mulberry Street is home to a large number of restaurants and delicatessens. This iconic street proudly displays the colors of Italy and hosts the festivities of San Gennaro every year.
