Published by Arcadia Publishing
A collection of personal memories and insights from 25 longtime residents of this storied and ever-changing NYC neighborhood.

The Lower East Side is one of Manhattan’s most vibrant neighborhoods. For centuries, it has been home to hundreds of enclaves of immigrants from every part of the world. As they became New Yorkers, the neighborhood has in turn become infused with their cultures, foods, traditions, and personalities.

In this book, local historians Eric Ferrara and Nina Howes document the stories and remembrances of twenty-five Lower East Side residents who helped make it what it is today. From childhood memories with family (but without running water) to observations of the constantly changing city, Lower East Side Oral Histories reveals this larger-than-life corner of New York through the eyes and voices of the people who lived there.
