By sandee brawarskyjune 16,2000 Bowery is the idea of paradise for no one.
But when the aging buildings and their firelights flash out in the morning light, it is a beautiful place in the city, as tempting as the paintings of Edward Hooper.
Its flat façade, mismatched color and style, and uneven height create a eclectic backdrop for a glimpse of the city\'s last century elegance.
Bowery is worth having more than its skid row connotation.
Under the shadow of El, Third Avenue, until it was removed in 1955, Bowery now has extraordinary light.
The width of the street and the low buildings on both sides create an unusual air in Manhattan.
Looking north, the skyscrapers in the city center are clearly visible.
It used to be a road, a mile.
There is a long way from Chatham Square to Cooper Square, which is the street of many incarnations. Ever-
What is changing is that it is still the home of a declining male population living in the remaining boarding houses, where the daily rent for a compartment can start at $5 or $10.
Residents of Bowery are increasingly living in the renovated attic, which used to be a concert hall or a dime museum.
In business, the new wave of immigration has become a sign along with some long-standing family businesses.
There are three different Borui districts in the South: Chinatown;
Blocks from Grand to Houston Street, dominated by shops and restaurants selling lighting and equipment, the sun reflects from the stainless steel sink and pizza oven displayed on the sidewalk;
On the north end of Houston Street, as close as Bowery was to the funky, the first new cafe on the street, El Sur, was on the corner of Bleecker, just across the street, CBGB\'s Baley 315 punk rock and new wave Sports flourished at the club in 1970s.
In a new restaurant, the price of a glass of wine is $7--
Not much value for more typical Bowey consumers, the drinks they choose are still wild Irish roses, $2 per pint of the two remaining liquor stores on the street.
In the early morning, the bowrie family woke up with a shake of spirit.
At the 237 hotel, the nearest Jewish restaurant
A style cafeteria called Moishe\'s, where diners squeeze together for breakfast with noodles and other specialties.
In Bowery, merchants have been lifting heavy doors on their storefronts as truck drivers throw supplies onto the sidewalk.
At the corner of Delancey Street, people do tai chi on the roof.
Opposite Delancey, the oven was being scrubbed, ready for resale, and several people swept the sidewalk.
No one seems to notice that when a man in silver lame pants, no shirt dash, his thick black hair is flying behind him.
AdvertisementI remembers the days that started all morning in Bowery, when men would nap on the sunny sidewalk next to them, brown paper bags.
As a child, I often visit my father\'s business and the only way to get to the entrance is to cross a few men who sleep.
My sisters and I sat in the front window on the bar stool and waved to passers-
When they wake up, say to them.
Most of them were met by my father.
A gentleman named Bill would always tip his hat with a star tattoo on his forehead.
Some old guards are still nearby, but most of them are gone.
In the days before the political correctness, we did not think twice about calling them homeless people.
Since the year 00 s, Bowery was their capital.
This is home for people who have no other place to go.
Some people work, some are veterans, and some choose to live in the friendship between men and bottles.
But by 1970s, we won\'t have to turn over the bodies on the sidewalk any more. Flop-
The house was closed and many people left the area. Still, at No.
227 in the vicinity of Prince Street, after more than a century, the mission continued to provide assistance and shelter to those in need.
In addition to several nearby accommodation houses, it also reminds peopleand-
The past is rapidly disappearing.
A friend who has lived in a bowling alley for nearly 30 years has missed the day of 50 gatekeepers ---
When they were not asleep at his door-
Take care of him and his children.
Now, I like to walk around Bowery, and what I\'m most interested in is these buildings and their stories.
So connecting the present and the past is a combination of rumors and research.

I have the urge of archaeologists to wonder how these sites reveal history while also hiding secrets.
Bowery is older than New York City and can be traced back to Lower Manhattan when it was a Dutch colony.
Peter stuvesen established a country estate or farm-
Bouwerie of the Netherlands, sometimes spelled bowerij--
In the suburbs at that time, it was about the Sixth Street in the 16 th century and 50 years.
A road called De Bouwerie connects New Amsterdam with his farm along an ancient Indian Trail.
There are other farms, Dutch villas and occasional pubs along the way;
The carving at the scene showed that a village road was lined with tall poplar trees.
This part of Bowery\'s history is now almost invisible except for the name;
The landside owns most of the farmland east of Bowery, and the Bay West.
The farm is divided into shops and families, some of which are quite elegant, and Bowery was a fashionable extension in the first decades of the 19 th century.
The history of Bowery unfolds in the evolution of a piece of land.
Now south of Canal Street, in a bull market connected to the Bull Head Tavern, New
The classic Bowey theater was built in the 1820s s.
It was the largest theater in the United States at the time, and the first theater in New York to be illuminated by a gas lamp.
The opening work of the theater 1826 is \"the road of destruction\", which many later say is a foresight for its future, because the theater was burned 6 times and rebuilt 5 times
The last fire took place in 1929, when it was renamed Thalia, showcasing Yiddish, German, Italian and Chinese drama.
There are Chinese restaurants here now. In the mid-
In the year 00 s, Bowery was the center of urban drama.
The first stage version of Uncle Tom\'s Cabin opens at the National Theatre
104,1852, between hayster and the street, although the serious drama is located in the plot drama, juggling, circus, singer and variety show.
Inside and outside the theater is filled with theatrical performances: Bowery Theater is an ongoing carnival.
Packed with carts and pedestrians, trolleys, organ grinding machines and chestnut sellers, the streets became lively late at night, the street lights lit up the streets, and after 1878 the lights of the elevated trains lit up the streets.
