Lower East Side art galleries and more

From NYC walks: Nature, beauty, & peace
4.8

The Lower East Side, along with Tribeca, has the most galleries of any Neighborhood in manhattan. Last time we visited, it was a wild frontier for young, experimental and often edgy artists. Let's see whether the art scene has mellowed or if it's still a cauldron for the untamed and unexpected. We'll visit my favorite exhibitions, sample the rich history of the immigrants that flooded this neighborhood in the early twentieth century, and see the many creative changes that are now transforming the LES. POSSIBLE LATE LUNCH: After the 2 hour tour, we will walk to nearby Chinatown for Cantonese food if enough people are interested. COST: $1 (CASH ONLY) plus whatever you pay for lunch
