Shop district, lower east side

Title
Shop district, lower east side
LC Subject
Stores, Retail Streets
Description
Quaint and queer shops line many of the lower east side streets. For the most part, the shops occupy the ground floor and basement, while the upper stories are devoted to residence purposes. Iron balconies and fire escapes are on the street side of the buildings, and are used in a great variety of ways. On hot summer nights, they become sleeping porches, while during gala days and festivals, they are gaily decorated balconies with many a Romeo and Juliet scene enacted.
