The Lower East Side Tenement Museum |
"New York is probably, in this regard at least, the strangest city in the world, so many of its denizens living as they (we) do among the unreconstructed remnants of nineteenth-century sweatshops and tenements, the streets pot-holed and buckling while right over there, around the corner, is a Chanel boutique. We go shopping amid the rubble,
like the world's richest, best-dressed refugees."
Michael Cunningham, By Nightfall
