On April 22nd, Sharon and I took the train into Manhattan (Grand Central Station). We walked all the way down Park, and then Lexington down to the Lower East Side. We had a fascinating tour of the Tenement Museum which is a well-preserved actual look at what life was like for immigrants who lived there from 1863 - 1935. It was where the garment district began. We walked over to Little Italy for a great lunch, then back to the train by way of Lafayette St, past Union Square and up Park again. We happened across the armory where the 69th New York regiment had their base during the Civil War.
