Day 1 NYC

For a long time I wanted to explore the neighborhood where my maternal grandfather, William Trebing, lived as a young boy. We were staying at the Carlton Hotel on Madison at 28th. We headed down to the lower Eastside, now the Cooper Union neighborhood. Our destination was 106 E 5th Avenue which is where my great-grandfather lived with his family. As we suspected from the map this address no longer exists as the street is part of the Cooper Union complex. This is the view from the next block looking back toward where 106 6th street was. The area is gentrified and no longer has tenements.
