Lower East Side Tenement Museum Shop

Whether you love or hate museums, you will adore the Lower East Side Tenement Museum. We can assure you'll be even more impressed with its unique gift shop and book store. Hands down the best place to find books and information about this city of immigrants, not to mention great historical images, funky shirts and toys, and other amazing little knick-knacks.

This shop is the beating heart of NYC's best "museum". We put that in quotes because this place isn't some drafty building where you go to stare blankly at exhibits. Instead they've restored an entire tenement building to its old school glory and provide tours that are a genuine journey back in time. You can relive your trip again and again with all the great reading materials available at their gift store.
