EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a bustling street scene in New York City during the late 1800s. The photograph, taken in 1890, showcases a woman selling both coffee and clams from her roadside stall. The sea air is thick with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the briny scent of the clams and oysters on display. The woman, dressed in the fashion of the era, expertly shucks oysters and clams for her eager customers, while her assistant pours steaming cups of coffee for those seeking a warm respite from the crisp autumnal weather. The hustle and bustle of the city can be seen in the background, with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians passing by in a steady stream. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of New York City's vibrant street food culture, which has been a beloved tradition for generations. The combination of coffee and clams may seem unusual to modern palates, but in the late 1800s, it was a popular and affordable meal for the working class. The image also serves as a reminder of the city's rich maritime history, with the seafood industry playing a significant role in its economic development. The bustling harbor and the abundance of fresh seafood made New York a hub for seafood trade and commerce. Overall, this photograph is a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse into the sights, sounds, and smells of New York City in the late 1800s.
