I got all of my loading of egg cream film tapes done and had some time before my flight last night, so I went down to the Lower East Side Tenement Museum and took a tour. I have never timed my trips to be able to do this---they are often sold out---so I was happy to be able to go on one of their tours.
Then, as research for the egg cream film, I had to go to Eisenberg's on 5th and have my first NY egg cream. I met the owner, Josh, who will be in our film. Apparently, this place had been there since the 20's and threatened to close. Josh was so upset about losing the place that he bought it and runs it now. Great guy!
