Phone Pennsylvania 169 8 Chinat the Eastside, Bowery, Ghett New York After Dark - “Mnown, the Eestiide, Bowery, Ghetto We first pass along lower Fifth Avenue viewing the homes of old families well known a decade ago. Then through lower Broadway, under the Bridge of Sighs, the viaduct so thoroughly associated with the criminal records of New York. We next motor past Mulberry Bend Park, Little Italy and the old Five Points, gaining here a wonderful view of the illuminated Wool- worth Building. We are now in a section of the city which is seen to the best advantage after dark. The tourist is brought into close touch with the foreign element of New York City, pone ttg hundreds of thousands. An excellent opportunity is afforded to see the home life and social condition of the great masses who form the population of the world famous lower Eastside, Of first interest is CHINATOWN and what a wealth of mystery the word suggests. A People unique in thought and action, here in a new world, still pursuing the quaint manners and customs of their Celestial Realm. The district traversed by Mott, Doyer and Pell Streets is filled on every side with their bazaars, restaurants, missions, lodging houses and stores. The gambling rooms and underground pas- sages are still shown and here King Opium once reigned su- preme. We next visit the Joss House, the Chinese place of Worship, where the followers of Kung Foo Tsz (Confucius) daily consult his spirit for advice in their business affairs. Here may be seen the shrines to their various deities also fine specimens of carved ebony and teak wood for which their race is so justly famous. All their wierd rites and religious beliefs are fully explained by a well informed guide. The benediction, Gung He Fo Toy (Peace be with you), is then pronounced by the aged high priest upon the departing guest. The old Chow Ding Quoy (Chinese Theater) now a Mission Home where the derelicts from old Chatham Square, nightly gather, some to hear the music, some to tell of their reformation, others merely to find shelter from the cold, storm or heat, and a few in search for missing friends. This Mission also cares for wayward girls. pevouing is the Arcade, the death trap, where so many Chinamen have met their fate: victims of their fellow country- men, during their many Tong wars. A visit to the store of Soy Kee & Co., importers of Chinese mer- chandise, will hold your attention. Persons who are interested in the quaint and unusual will have that desire fulfilled at Soy Kee’s. Light refreshments are served at the Port Arthur Chinese Restaur- ant on Mott street. This stop gives the tourist an excellent idea of a typical Chinese eating place, noted for its cleanliness and excellent cuisine. Bidding farewell to this American Orient the trip leads through the historic Bowery to the Ghetto, the Jewish quarter. Here the streets teem with humanity who after their day’s labor gather on the curb, sidewalk and pavement to discuss subjects of the moment, a most promiscuous crowd, the like of which, both for number and character, is to be seen no where else on the face of the earth. We pass the Bread line, old Grace Church, and Union Square Park, enroute for the Gay White Way, ‘This is indeed wonderful, with its myriad, vari-colored electric lights and endless throngs of pleasure seekers on every side. Here human- ity is out fora lark, dull care is cast aside and the ecstacy of Bohemian life is at full tide. As a fitting climax to our tour we journey to the ‘‘Dancing Carnival’’ at the St. Nicholas Rink, one of the largest dancing floors in America. Our patrons may dance or watch as they prefer. The decorations are superb, there are exhibition dances of all modern steps, and three orchestras. We operate eleven and fourteen passenger cars so are able to give you absolutely individual attention. Ladies can take this trip without attendants with perfect safety.

Here you will see the massive sky- scrapers, ride along Wall Street and have an oppor- tunity to see the Curb Market in action. Down here also is the old part of New York settled by the Dutch in the early days. There is a stop at the Aquarium. Next we cross Brooklyn Bridge and a visit is made to the Brooklyn Heights residential section where will be seen Henry Ward Beecher’s old Plymouth Church. From the Heights a magnificent view is obtained of the famous sky-line of New York and of the busiest harbor in the world. The car returns to New York by Manhattan Bridge arriving at the Bowery. Here in the Lower East Side you will see sights never to be forgotten, the Slums, Chinatown, tenement- house districts and the Ghetto. 1,000,000 people © crowded into an area of 1,000 acres.
