Last Saturday my daughter and I visited the Tenement Museum on Orchard Street, Lower East Side. It was a great experience for history buffs like us. The contrast between the immigrant life back in the day and my own when I arrived to this country was something to contemplate. I recommend visiting the museum, but be aware that you can only go with a tour, and you have to book way in advance, at least if you want to go on a weekend. They don't allow any photographing inside the museum, so I don't have any pictures from the actual tenement apartments.

We had lunch (The Whole30 compliant, of course) at the Market Ipanema on Kenmare Street.
Not very traditional Brazilian, but very nice and fresh. |

| On our way to a bit of shopping on Broadway, we passed by Little Italy. It was the feast of San Gennaro, and the crowds were something else, as evidenced by this photo. |
Luckily, we had already left the city before the explosion took place on Saturday. It's so lucky that nobody died even though it was a huge explosion. New Yorkers have been really chill about the incident. Life goes on and it's business as usual. New Yorkers won't let the fear of terrorism run their lives.
