Virtual Seminar: A Century of Shopping on the Lower East Side: Presented by the Museum at Eldridge Street & Seward Park Library at Museum at Eldridge Street
Gift-Giving Season is upon us! Join Scott Brevda of the Museum at Eldridge Street and Andrew Fairweather of the Seward Park branch of the New York Public Library on Tuesday, December 10th at 6pm ET on Zoom for a deep dive into the rarely-explored history of shopping on the Lower East Side!

The ways Lower East Side residents shop has evolved drastically over the past century. From the rise and fall of neighborhood department stores, pushcarts, to public markets on the Catherine Street thoroughfare, join us virtually and learn about the history of both the businesses and the people selling, buying, and producing goods—from clothing to food—in our historic neighborhood.
