Lower East Side Street Scene

Shoppers congregate as vendors sell their wares on the sidewalk outside of haberdasheries at 57 Hester Street and 55 Hester Street on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York, New York, circa 1900. The area is home to a mostly Jewish immigrant poplulation as evidenced by the sign out front of the hat shop that it is in Hebrew as well as English. (Photo by Hulton Archive/Getty Images)
