Market Street and East Broadway(40.713731,-73.994956)
Eddie Cantor's Birthplace19 Eldridge Street (40.714983, -73.99373)
Eddie Cantor's birthplace was at 19 Eldridge Street where he was born on January 31st, 1892. When his parents died in 1895, his grandmother Esther and Eddie moved to a $9 a month apartment at 47 Henry Street. They later moved into the basement of the back house (which was only $7). Thankfully, the Henry Street Settlement helped make Eddie a good kid, which was difficult in that old poor crime-ridden neighborhood.

Eddie Cantor was the “Apostle of Pep,” and his eye-rolling routines inspired the nickname “Banjo Eyes.” His real name was Edward Israel Iskowitz, but as he was raised by his grandmother, Esther Kantrowitz, he eventually changed his name to the shortened “Cantor.” He changed his first name from Izzy to Eddie in 1903, when he met his wife-to-be, Ida Tobias.

Eddie started his career winning talent contests on the Bowery, moved into vaudeville, debuted on Broadway in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1917, and made records before moving into radio, movies and television.

Teenager Jimmy Durante first met waiter/performer Eddie Cantor while working together at Carey Walsh's Cabaret in Coney Island. Jimmy, Eddie and Burt Savory later worked at Feltman's (owned by Charles Feltman) as pianist (Durante) and singing waiters (Cantor, Savoy). The hot dog was invented in Coney Island by Feltman. In 1867, he put a Vienna sausage in a roll and named it a Coney Island Red Hot. Feltman opened a hotel in 1878, and his hot dog place stayed open until 1946.

Durante, Cantor and Burt Savoy convinced another co-worker, Nathan Handwerker (who started working at Feltman's in 1915), to quit Feltman's in Coney Island and sell hot dogs at half price. In 1916, Handwerker and his wife, Ida, bought and opened a 8 x 25-foot store at the corner of Surf and Stillwell Avenues. Ida's spicy recipe used lots of garlic and all beef. Burt Savoy admitted in the book, The Principal of Rivington Street, that Cantor, Durante and himself lent Nathan and Ida Handwerker the money to open Nathan’s. Eddie Cantor was also married to an Ida, Ida Tobias, who gave him five daughters. Eddie Cantor theme song for his The Eddie Cantor Radio Show, was “Ida, she’s as sweet as apple cider”, that he dedicated to his wife.

Nathan's in Coney Island once dressed up bums in medical attire and paid them to sit at their counters to eat busily. When customers who came off the train saw all the doctors eating at Nathan's, they figured it was safe to eat. Nathan even put up a sign: “If doctors eat our hot dogs, you know they're good!”

The hot dog is filled with a rich history: Yale University students in 1894 started to refer to the carts selling hot sausages in buns as dog wagons, making light about the kind of meat used. The Yale Record on October 19, 1895, reported: “They contentedly munched hot dogs.” A 1906 cartoon illustrating Harry Stevens’ hot dogs was pictured at a six-day bicycle race in Madison Square Garden. A Bavarian sausage seller, Anton Ludwig Feuchtwanger, was serving sausages in rolls at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. The frankfurter wurst was invented in the 1480s in Frankfurt, but Vienna claims to have created the first wienerwurst or Viennese sausage.

Eldridge Street Synagogue12 - 16 Eldridge Street (40.714769, -73.993599)
K'hal Adath Jeshurum with Anshe Lubz (Community Congregation of Israel, Men of Lubz, also known as Congregation of the Righteous and the Community of the People Israel) is more widely known as the Eldridge Street Synagogue at 12-16 Eldridge Street. Built by Ashkenazi East European Jews, it was the first American great house of worship that was designed and built to be a synagogue by Eastern European Jews. NYC synagogues (such as Temple Emmanu-El, originally at the corner of Grand and Clinton in 1845 before moving to 5th Avenue on October 31st, 1866) had already been built by German Jews, and the earliest synagogues were built by Sephardic Jews. The Eldridge Street Synagogue is the oldest structure In NYC built specifically as a synagogue.

Built as a New World Orthodox synagogue that would hold 740 worshippers, Kahal Adath Jeshurim tried to outshine all the hometown shuls where most of the immigrants originated. The original members were the first Eastern European Orthodox Jewish congregation in America, founded in the 1850s.

The Eldridge Street Synagogue was designed by Peter and Francis William Herter, the Roman Catholic builders of many Lower East Side tenements. They designed the religious structure combining Gothic, Moorish and Romanesque elements, highlighted by hand-stenciled walls and elaborate brass fixtures. Hanging down from the center of the temple a Victorian chandelier lit up the congregation as well as gallery windows. Soon after the temple was built, the original congregation merged with Congregation Anshe Lubz (people of Lubz, Poland).

This six-story Eldridge Street Synagogue was built in 1886-87 for $100,000 and opened on September 4th, 1887. This place of refuge was the neighborhood’s shining star rising above the tenements until it lost its congregation in the 1950s. Its worshippers included local Lower East Side merchants, laborers, artisans, clerks, peddlers, and even lawyers who immigrated to NYC between 1880 and 1924.

Seventy feet above the congregation in this great house of worship is a gigantic 50-foot barrel-vaulted ceiling. Every seat was numbered separately so that each worshiper would have his own space in this sacred landscape of vision, hope and dreams. The central rose window has 12 stars of David representing the Twelve Tribes of Israel, and its five Moorish-styled keyhole windows signify the five books of Moses.

The famous banker Sender Jarmulovsky was its first president, and celebrities such as Jonas Salk, Paul Muni, Eddie Cantor and Edward G Robinson attended the Eldridge Street Synagogue. Women were separated from the men and isolated to the balcony.

By 1920, almost 30% of NYC was Jewish. Some 2.5 million Eastern European Jews immigrated to America, and three-quarters of them lived in NYC's Lower East Side. By the 1930s, the residents of the once mainly Jewish neighborhood moved away (mostly to Brownsville, Harlem, the Bronx), and the main sanctuary was mostly closed by 1933 except for special events and holidays. America’s immigration quotas in 1924 stopped the tides of new Jewish faces in the neighborhood, and the Great Depression wiped out most of the members’ financial contributions to the temple.

After the mid-1950s, the main sanctuary was totally abandoned and its smaller congregation worshipped in Beth Hamedrash (which means “house of study”), the street level chapel of the Eldridge Street Synagogue. In the 1960s the main sanctuary was sealed when it became too waterlogged as a result of leaks and rain. From 1933 until 1971, repairs were halted and heating for most of the building turned off. The orthodox worshippers were still praying on the street level through the 1980s.

In 1971, Gerald R. Wolfe from NYU unsealed the Eldridge Street Synagogue's main sanctuary. Wolfe founded the Friends of the Eldridge Street Synagogue, conducted walking tours of the neighborhood, and dedicated 13 years to stabilizing the historic religious structure. When he forced open the doors, he found it occupied by hundreds of pigeons and severely damaged by rain leaking through the destroyed roof. Preservationist Roberta Brandes Gratz took over working on the synagogue under the name Eldridge Street Project. Some money came from the Vincent Astor Foundation, headed by Brooke Astor, who hosted a benefit gala promoting the restoration.

In 1986, the water-damaged Eldridge Street Synagogue started a $20 million, 20-year renovation to restore its Old World look. All the stained glass was removed and repaired; 20% of it had to be replaced). All the original benches were restored as well as the hand-carved walnut ark (which still has its original 1886 crimson velvet cover). In the Western Hemisphere, synagogues’ Arks were usually constructed on the east wall in order to face Jerusalem. The extra large Ark in the Eldridge Street Synagogue can hold 24 Torah scrolls (most are kept in a bank vault).

The congregation and tourists can now see the same cream-colored facade the original Jewish immigrants first gazed at. In 2001, during an archaeological excavation of a vacant lot behind the temple, an old mikvah (a ritual bath) was uncovered. New heating, air conditioning and ventilation were added to protect the structure for centuries to come. The Eldridge Street Project was finished in 2007, and then the museum was opened to the public.

Sabbath and holidays are still reserved for the local Orthodox community; otherwise the Eldridge Street Synagogue is used as a museum. The museum has guided tours of the restored temple and local walking tours of the old Jewish immigrant neighborhood, cultural programs, concerts, festivals, screenings of films, readings and other exhibits.

On December 11th, 1979, this neo-Moorish building was classified an historical monument by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission and became a national public landmark in 1996. That part of Eldridge Street is now the main drag for underpaid workers who immigrated mostly from the Fuzhou village in China.

Excelsior Engine Company 9 Firehouse55 East Broadway (40.713486, -73.995443)
Built in early 1865, the firehouse at 55 East Broadway was home to NYC's oldest firefighting brigade who used the building for over 100 years (with just a one year break between 1902 and 1903). The volunteer firefighting unit that would become Excelsior Engine No. 2 was organized in 1731 in a shed behind the second NYC City Hall at Nassau and Wall Streets, and it was stationed there until 1776. Before Engine 1 (that would become Hudson Engine) and 2 (that would become Chatham Engine) came from England, leather water buckets were used to try to stop fires from spreading. In 1740, Richard Newsham, in London made the first hand-drawn wooden fire pumpers that would help protect NYC. These primitive two-cylinder fire engines with seesaw water pumps came to NYC on the ship Beaver on December 6th, 1741. Colonial volunteer firefighters had to fill them with buckets of water, mount them on solid block wheels, and drag them to the fires. Old hand pump fire engines are exhibited at the New York City Fire Museum at 278 Spring Street (an old 1904 firehouse) and the New York State Volunteer Firemen's Home Museum in Hudson, New York.

The old Chatham Engine moved to the Bowery (then called the Boston Post Road) from 1784 to 1796. In 1796, Chatham Engine Company #2 moved close to the new Methodist Church, the second Methodist church built in NYC, in 1789 at 12 Forsyth Street (then called Second Street). In 1832, the historic Chatham Engine #2 moved to a Eldridge and Division Street station. In 1845, Volunteer Chatham Engine was disbanded for fighting with Volunteer Engine Company 26. A year later in 1846, they reorganized as Excelsior Engine 2. Volunteer Excelsior Engine No. 2 became paid Excelsior Engine Company 9 on September 29th, 1865, after the volunteer fire brigades were disbanded.

When the building at 55 East Broadway was first built in early 1865, Volunteer Excelsior Engine Company No. 2 (who once used the original Chatham Engine), started using it as their headquarters. The new paid Metropolitan Fire Company used a horsedrawn Amoskeag engine. Three firemen died on September 14th, 1875, while field testing the first aerial ladders to be used by a NYC fire company. The tragic test took place in front of hundreds of spectators at Tweed Plaza (now know as Nathan Strauss Square), at the intersection of East Broadway and Essex Streets.

In 1902, Metropolitan Engine Company #9 was first moved into an old fire station that was on the site of 77 Canal Street. In 1903, Engine Company #9 moved back to 55 East Broadway when the old station on Canal Street was torn down. On January 10th, 1966, Engine Company #9 was relocated to 269 Henry Street between Montgomery and Gouvernour Streets (just north of Henry Street Settlement). This elaborate Henry Street brownstone was converted into a firehouse in 1854 (now standing unused since 2001). This Henry Street firehouse housed Americus Engine Company 6 (Big 6), that was used by Boss Tweed.

On May 6th, 1969, Engine Company #9 moved back to the 75-77 Canal Street site that had built new quarters for Metropolitan Engine Companies 6 and 9. This current firehouse at 75-77 Canal Street (between Allen and Eldridge Streets) also houses the 2003 Mack Satellite Water System hose wagon called Satellite-1, which uses thousands of feet of fatter 5 inch hose and shoots water or foam.

Manhattan BridgeMadison between Pike and Market Streets (40.712346, -73.993456)
The “Manny B.,” the loudest (due to the current subways) of the four East River bridges, was constructed over eight years for $31 million. Construction for the Manhattan Bridge (then called Suspension Bridge Number 3) began on October 1st, 1901. An estimated 1,000 people per minute could be transported using the new bridge between Canal and Bowery in Manhattan and Flatbush Avenue and Tillary Street in Brooklyn. When the Manhattan Bridge opened, two trolley systems and two subway systems were built but not hooked up to any tracks on either side. No tunnel routes in Brooklyn or Manhattan existed to link its four trolley tracks and four subway tracks. When the Manhattan Bridge opened December 31st, 1909, the pedestrian walkways on the extreme outer sides of the bridge were not finished either. In 1940, the mass transit trolley tracks were foolishly (or feulishly perhaps) replaced by roads for vehicles.

The Manhattan Bridge was the third and last suspension bridge built to span the East River. The Queensboro Bridge (not a suspension but a double cantilever bridge) was finished a year earlier in 1908 so the Manhattan Bridge is the fourth bridge spanning the East River. The Manhattan Bridge features the best walking views of the Brooklyn Bridge, while bikers face the Williamsburg Bridge as the dedicated bicycle path is on the bridge’s north side. The incline is not steep so it makes easy biking, and the bike path is mostly clear of tourists crowding the Brooklyn Bridge.

The Manhattan Bridge once carried New York State Route 27 (between December 1934 and January 1st, 1970), and later planned to carry Interstate 478. Designed by Leon Moisseiff (1872-1943), its main span is 1,470 feet. At 6,855 feet long, it is the second longest bridge in NYC. The towers are 322 feet above the East River’s water. Its suspension cables measure 3,224 feet each, and were 21 inches in diameter making them the biggest cables on any East River bridge. Nickel steel was used for the bridge’s structural material, tower material as well as the deck.

When the Manhattan Bridge first opened in 1909, its tracks didn't connect to any NYC subway line. In September 1912 a streetcar company called the Manhattan Bridge Three Cent Line started using the subway tracks for three years as a temporary shuttle (the car house may still be standing). The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company unsuccessfully tried to stop them by preventing the Edison Company from supplying them with power. The streetcar trolleys were moved to the upper roadway in 1915 (until 1929 when trolley service ended). The Third Avenue Railroad System in Brooklyn bought most of the double-truck cars from the Manhattan Bridge Three Cent Line for use (mostly) on its Steinway Street line.

The Manhattan Bridge currently has four subway tracks and a double deck roadway with seven lanes (four on top, three on the lower roadway) for vehicular traffic. Renovations in 1940 and 1978 showed that the trains were significantly wearing away the structure. When trains entered the bridge at the same time from opposite sides it makes the bridge shift up to 8 feet. The trains dip about 4 feet to the north and south sides when they enter together at different ends, which has caused considerable twisting of the lower deck. Removing the subways from the bridge has been talked about since 1940. Every train that goes over the bridge creates microscopic cracks that after 100 years have developed into larger more serious cracks. In 1978, cracking and corrosion caused the bridge to be closed for a while. The south side walkway was reopened in 2001, and the north side walkway finally reopened in 2004.

Elevated railway honcho Frederick Uhlmann wanted a cable suspension bridge built for train use only. Uhlmann planned it to cross the East River just north of where the Manhattan Bridge was built; it obviously never happened. The Manhattan Bridge was built by Ralph Modjeski, but the deflection cables were designed by Leon Moisseiff, the guy who helped mess up Galloping Gertie (the original Tacoma Narrows Bridge) that didn't make it past 1940.

In 1916, the Manhattan Bridge Plaza was constructed on the bridge’s Manhattan landing by John M Carrere and Thomas Hastings, who designed the NY Public Library on 42nd Street. Over 1,000 Chinese families in rundown tenements were evicted to create this 400 by 750 ft. plaza. Its Baroque arch was modeled after a gateway to Paris called Porte St. Denis. Another European monument inspiring the Manhattan Bridge Plaza was the Giovanni Bernini Colonnade at St. Peter's Church in Vatican City.

Charles Cary Rumsey's Buffalo Hunt moulding was highlighted over the Baroque arch on the bridge’s Manhattan landing. This frieze shows Indians in a great buffalo hunt. Before Charles Cary Rumsey was killed in a 1922 car accident, he helped convert an old stable on East 40th Street into the Sculptor's Gallery, where he showed off his large model for his Buffalo Hunt sculpture.

Carl August Heber’s Spirit of Industry and Spirit of Commerce figures also decorate the Baroque arch on the Manhattan side of the bridge. This whole plaza was to be demolished by Robert Moses for his Lower Manhattan Expressway (LoMex) in 1961, but plans were scrapped and the plaza wasn't. The Manhattan Bridge Arch and Colonnade was made into a NYC landmark in 1975. Robert Moses built an iron superstructure on the Manhattan side that was going to be used for Interstate 478. I-478 would have crossed the bridge after coming from New Jersey through the Holland Tunnel (down Broome Street to Chrystie Street). LoMex was cancelled in 1969. Moses ruled NYC for 40 years starting in 1925, slighting mass transit for his love of automobiles. Moses created lots of jobs for New Yorkers, but his construction plans for NYC's housing projects, parks, highways and bridges were mostly horribly planned.

During its construction, more than 300 workers were at the Manhattan Bridge site every day. Sadly, usually 20 to 40 men die during major bridge construction, but during the building of the Manhattan Bridge only a half a dozen were sacrificed. The Manhattan Bridge served a historic background for many scenes in the classic NYC film "Once Upon A Time In America" by director Sergio Leone.

It’s a far cry from Manhattan’s first bridge, the King's Bridge, built in 1693 over the Spuyten Duyvil Creek to the Bronx.
