BEEKMAN STREET WHERE provisions is now located! Lots has changed!


Want something REALLY local?… South Street is Barbara G. Mensch’s evocative tribute to the lost world of Lower Manhattan’s Fulton Fish Market. This book gives great insight into how life used to be down by NYC Historical South Street Seaport and Brooklyn Bridge. As a young photographer in the early 1980s, Barbara Mensch bonded with this particular group of “authentic New Yorkers,” becoming a confidante for their life stories, which were often filled with hardship, mystery, and misadventures. These striking photographs capture the unique personality and fierce secrecy of their vibrant working-class culture.



SIGNED COPIES ARE SOLD AT provisions!!!!

 

Pictured back when it was the Fish Market. I remember the days the Fish Market was down here. Maybe not the days pictured here…. but people still ask for the Fish Market. Someone just came in today asking if it still exists down here.

 

These photographs are Barbara Mensch’s tribute to the lost world of Lower Manhattan’s Fulton Fish Market. For more than a century, a tightly knit community of workingmen, many of them immigrants or children of immigrants, thrived in their nocturnal jobs as fishmongers under the base of the Brooklyn Bridge.  Resistant to government regulations and corporate encroachment these men worked in a closed, internally-policed world that was deeply hostile to outsiders.

Many of the images were taken in 1979-1983, a time of profound change in the political and economic landscape of Lower Manhattan. The waterfront below the Brooklyn Bridge was targeted for economic revival, spurred by the demolition of important locales in the fish market, existing piers, working storefronts, saloons and hotels to make room for new commercial spaces, including a shopping mall.
