Joe Svehlak Tours the Lower West Side

This Summer, Joe Svehlak delivered a tour to GANYC members about the Lower West Side and Little Syria... two lost neighborhoods just south of where the World Trade Center now stands.

In these tours, Joe tells the history of Lower Manhattan, often based on his personal memories and experiences throughout his 80+ years of life!

This video compiles the highlights of this tour in 45 minutes. How lucky are we to have Joe’s decades of knowledge preserved like this!
