Day 4: Lower Manhattan. Get a glimpse into New York’s immigrant heritage and how it is shaping the city today. Visit Little Italy, where cafes evoke memories of this once thriving immigrant community and authentic local shops, some over 100 years old, still offer fresh mozzarella, salami, gelato and pastries. Visit Chinatown, one of the largest concentrations of Chinese in the Western Hemisphere. Enjoy time in a Chinese Market, with the same goods you might find in any Chinese city. Explore the neighborhoods and learn the history of the Lower East Side’s mass immigration and large Jewish community. Greenwich Village, once a Bohemian enclave, has become one of the city's most attractive and interesting neighborhoods. A visit to the 9/11 Memorial reminds us we are all one no matter where we originate.
