Step inside the city's last surviving court of back-to-back houses on a guided tour, each home set up as it was for the families who lived there from the 1840s to the 1970s.

Why it's a good date: Small, moving and full of real lives, and the guides are brilliant. Tours are small and book up, so get tickets ahead, then eat in Chinatown round the corner.
