Street Market, Lower East Side, New York City, c.1895,
Street life in New York City was the life-blood of diverse immigrant communities.
City streets reflected both the complex social structures of the cities-the
dense housing, the street vendors and carriages--and the mixing, haggling,
and intermingling that these new Americans experienced in the urban environment.
