Lonely Planet review for Eldridge Street Synagogue

This landmarked house of worship, built in 1887, was once the center of Jewish life, before falling into squalor in the 1920s. Left to rot, it's only recently been reclaimed, and now shines with original splendor. Its onsite museum gives tours every half hour ($10; 10am to 5pm), with the last one departing at 4pm.

    Wow - so beautiful and meaningful

    MChin recommends this,

    Amazing space and history - we took a guided tour (included in admission price) with someone whose parents came from Eastern Europe and who understood the culture and background. Beautiful space, and lots of time to see it up close and admire it. Also had information in French.
