Settling
In NYC
Many immigrants such as the Irish, Italian, Polish, German and Jewish people from Russia made their new homes in New York especially on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. During this time more people from different countries lived in Manhattan than anywhere else. Other immigrants settled throughout America and made their homes in the bigger cities. America seemed so different to most of them; it took them a few years before they felt it was home.
