Tenement Museum

Very much worth visiting. If you live close enough to go more than once, it's very economical to purchase a one year membership. There are multiple indoor and outdoor tours. In the building used for the tours it was a warm day, so they gave us fans.

Very interesting. As they acquire more buildings the tour changes....
