Why go on JCC trips + outings?

“Being a newcomer to New York City, I was very happy to join the group of people who signed up for the Lower East Side Gallery Tour. We visited seven galleries being led to them by a knowledgeable and personable tour guide who is the director of New York Gallery Tours. I enjoyed seeing the different art work and hearing the interesting comments from the other participants in the group. This is the fourth field trip that I have attended from the JCC. I look forward to going to more of those that are planned.”
