During the early years of the last century, the Lower East Side of Manhattan was home of the poorest, most wretched refuse in the country. Most lived in squalid tenement apartments but some simply formed huddled masses that blocked the doors of the many Starbucks outlets that existed at the time. European Jews and Italians lived side by side in relative harmony. Generations of guilt training kept each group from really hurting the other.

  • During the early years of the last century, the Lower East Side of Manhattan was home of the poorest, most wretched refuse in the country. Most lived in squalid tenement apartments but some simply formed huddled masses that blocked the doors of the many Starbucks outlets that existed at the time. European Jews and Italians lived side by side in relative harmony. Generations of guilt training kept each group from really hurting the other. Armando Cohen had quickly bundled up his small family: wife Francesca and sons Alberto, Mario, Vincenzo, Pietro and Giacomo in the middle of the night and snuck onto a cargo ship bound for New York. At about the same time, the elder Ernesto was showering with other Prussian Army recruits and realized that he was cut differently from the other men. He remained, until his death, baffled that his father had never told him that he was Jewish. He was even more baffled by his father's reason: "you never asked." Both families arrived in New York on October 15, 1907 and both found shelter in small, dingy apartments at 146 Bowery St. Bert and Ernie became fast friends. Rumors about the nature of their friendship began when the men were in their teens and persisted until their deaths.
