Here's the perfect way to slip some history about NY's immigrant past to an unsuspecting teen: a guided tour at the Lower East Side Tenement Museum.

The actual tours take place across the street, at the 97 Orchard Street tenement building. Above is the museum shop-front (-incidentally, it's the setting for the pawnshop scene in Men in Black.) Hour-long guided tours explores actual apartments where people lived a hundred-odd years ago. Read about the Lower East Side Tenement Museum at TWKids.
