Soooo many wonderful aspects! First, walking the neighborhoods with a local, getting such great history of wonderful buildings and businesses. Then, the food! So much, so good, with such entree into those immigrant cultures through the most basic of elements--their food. Our tour guide, Seth, could not have been more accommodating, warm or instructive.
