Doing some research for my book today, I made these maps I'm proud of with all the ethnic neighborhoods of 1870. As your fun fact of the day, expensive SoHo was once the hub of the sex district! Mercer St had 21 brothels on it and pamphlets with addresses and reviews were discreetly given to visitors and rich men, like yelp! #oldny #gildedagenyc
Jerdencon I love stuff like that! 7y
theresidentromantic @Jerdencon You should Google some of these pamphlets! The bad reviews are so funny. 7y
Jerdencon I am definitely going to - and think about them next time I'm in that area! Lol 7y
CoverToCoverGirl It‘s so interesting how things change over time.. 7y
