‘...only 10 years after it was completed Jacob Riis reported that 61 of 138 children born there in a three-year period had died before the age of one. ... The Harper's article says there was a frontage of 30 feet on the street. The building was 300 feet deep and "is divided practically into two buildings by a partition wall extending all the way from front to rear". One division had a court on the west side and the other had a court on the east side. These "courts were", in fact, alleys. The ground floor apartments visited by the reporter were "small, dark and dirty" "at noon on a cloudy day" were "as dark as early evening elsewhere". The upper floors were brighter but just as small and dirty. ...’ http://www.maggieblanck.com/NewYork/Life.html

An enormous red heart painted on a rolling gate which is down over a storefront. The heart has both a smile and a sad face drawn on it.

A hand drawn mural of large red hearts and blue flowers alternating on a blue background. Among the hearts are the words "Forgt Me Not" with the letter "E" apparently forgotten. There are also large kegs of beer and refuse bins on the ground in front of the mural.
Graffiti in Chinatown, #NYC. The landlord painted it over years ago, but I remember it. Also, the rough-looking neighborhood bar by the same name is still next door.

Rugelach has been a NYC staple since Jewish immigrants brought the Polish pastry to the Lower East Side in the late 1800s. These crescent-shaped treats tell the story of Jewish culinary traditions.
