Show Notes
The lower west side of Manhattan used to be home to the biggest population of Arab immigrants in the US. In the early 20th century, streets were full of people speaking Arabic, with street vendors selling ka'ak, storefront baklava displays; this was New York's “Little Syria”. Today though, it's all gone.
This week on Kerning Cultures, America's first Arab neighbourhood, and the final attempts to save it.
