About This Item
Smithsonian, 2010. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. First printing. Fine in fine dust jacket. Hardcover. 253 pp. with bibliograpy, index. A unique, fascinating look at the culinary life that was the heart and soul of New York City's Lower East Side around the turn of the 20th century. The neighborhood was a city within a city, where German, Irish, Italians, and Eastern European Jews attempted to forge a new life. The story is told through the experiences of five families, all of them residents of 97 Orchard Street. The author takes us on a tour of the impossibly cramped tenement apartments, down dimly lit staircases where children played and neighbors socialized, beyond the front stoops, and out into ythe hubbub of the dirty, teeming streets. Immigrat cooks brough their ingenuity to the daily tasks of feeding their families, preserving traditions from home but ready to improvise.
