This report I plan on writing about the lower east side and its change from poor immigrant and Jewish town to a flourishing trendy neighborhood and how this change affected the city’s image and portrayal as well. As a New York Jew it isn’t rare, but all of my grandparents came from different countries, homes, and lifestyles yet met during this time period in this area. This essay will be as if it is documenting New York changing through their eyes, specifically the Lower East Side. This essay is not about them particularly more there generation’s span in being a dominant force to an onlooker to change.
