[223 and 221 Bowery, Manhattan, c. 1939–1941. From the NYC Municipal Archives Collections. Click for a much larger view.]
It’s the restaurant window that caught my eye. Click and read the Fuerst Brothers’ menu: everything but turkey. And everything but a diamond robbery.
See also the tax photograph of the Pioneer Restaurant and Berenice Abbott’s photograph of the Blossom Restaurant.
No. 221 still stands. No. 223, now 225, has been reduced to one story. as Google Maps will show.

Yep. Schools like this one on the Bowery.
