Seeing this monitor in Sara D. Roosevelt Park on Houston St was the first time I recall pondering the idea of electronic trash. It wasn't very pervasive at the time, at least on the Lower East Side. I literally stopped in my tracks to take this photo and thought "this is the beginning".

נאריש זשלאָב מענטש

“#Jewish #cooking in #America closely follows American cooking in America,” says Jane Ziegelman, author of 97 Orchard, about the #food traditions of immigrant families who lived on #Manhattan’s #LowerEastSide near what is today the Tenement Museum in #NewYorkCity. But one thing that distinguishes Jewish #cuisine from those of other ethnicities is its lack of ties to one specific place. Since ancient times, Jewish food has absorbed the ingredients along the #diaspora trail. “Jewish food is tied to where #Jews are,” Ziegelman says. “It’s a really flexible cuisine.”

"#TheodoreRoosevelt had a thing about the #Jews. Not just the uptown #Manhattan Jews whose families had immigrated from Germany and Austria-Hungary in the middle years of the 19th century, people whose Reform #Judaism was tidier to the gentile eye than were the shuls of the #LowerEastSide. These were Jews whose prosperity made many of them business colleagues and political bedfellows of #Roosevelt and his Republican Party.

But Roosevelt’s #philosemitism extended deeper, into the Lower East Side itself and its #Yiddish-speaking, tenement-dwelling Jews whose crowded apartments and sweatshops drew the concern of social reformers such as the Danish-born pioneer photojournalist Jacob Riis.

Roosevelt befriended Riis, and as #NewYork’s head police commissioner from 1895 to 1897, he spoke to downtown #Jewish audiences, advocating the progressive cause of hiring by merit."

A source I'd love to see for my research is the supposed 1890 Baron de Hirsch survey of Jewish parts of Manhattan which I'd seen cited. I tried following those citations to their origin here in The Early Jewish Labor Movement in the United States (Antonovsky and Cherikover). this itself was written a century ago so🤷inconclusive.

Dining and Cooking · Could This Be the End of the Party in Dimes Square?On Wednesday, the New York City Council convened to vote on matters of critical importance: organic waste collection, blockchain technology, the upcoming mayoral race and 18 red bistro chairs that dot the corner of Canal and Ludlow Streets.Like hundreds of restaurateurs across the city, Jon Neidich, an owner of Le Dive, applied for a permit last year for sidewalk seating outside of his buzzy wine bar on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.Under ordinary circumstances, his application would have been approved or rejected by the Department of Transportation, and never even considered by the City Council. Instead, Christopher Marte, a
