The European immigrants had spread out on the tiny land of Manhattan, the better-off living in uptown and Lower East Side being the symbol of the poor yet serving also as the place where traditional culture thrived. Seeing as how uptown visitors came to the Lower East Side to intake either their own traditional foods or try new cuisines, I wonder what would have happened to the culinary map of Manhattan had there been no transportations available between the uptown and the downtown. Without carriages and even subways later on, would food still have traveled the same way as the present day?
