New York Hidden Gem | Museum at Eldridge Street (1)🌟

📍 Address: 12 Eldridge Street, New York, NY 10002 Hidden within the current American Chinatown lies the first large synagogue built specifically by Eastern European Jewish immigrants in the United States. 🌺 When it was established in 1887, the surrounding area was still part of the Jewish community in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. As the Jewish population gradually moved away, the area eventually developed into the present - day Chinatown. 🎢🍃 After visiting the museum, you can head directly to Chinatown for dining and shopping. 🌺 It's not far from the heart of Chinatown and the Manhattan Bridge's Chinatown exit. 🌆 On the first floor, right after entering through the door, there is a small chapel that still attracts Jewish worshippers to this day. 🎢🍃 The area mainly features small - scale exhibitions and historical videos about the synagogue. 🌺In the past, due to the separation of men and women during worship, chairs were placed outside the partition for ladies and children. #NewYork 🗽
