Little Italy NY circa 1900

Post by acupxpa »

When my grandparents first came over in 1906, they listed their cousins' address on Elizabeth St. in Little Italy (NY) as their destination on the ships manifest. So I was looking around for pictures of Little Italy around that time and found this picture of Mulberry St.

I thought some of you might like to see it. (Check out the hi def image and look at the detail..)
