Essex Street Market pallet

New York has few markets. This is a corner of the covered market on Essex Street. We had lunch there, sheltered from the polar cold that raged outside.

We had just finished visiting the Tenement Museum, an unmissable memorial site of migrations. If you're passing through New York, Lower East Side, keep this in mind (www.tenement.org): book in advance and rely on the guides' accounts. We visited the flat where the Baldizzi family lived, Italian emigrants with a turbulent history.

Meanwhile, I'm off: I'm going to walk five days in Cornwall.
