"Curry Row," or "Little India," and sometimes called Curry Lane, is an area of East Sixth Street, from First Avenue to Second Avenue, in the East Village of Lower Manhattan, with approximately 20 South Asian restaurants. Curry Row started in 1968 when six brothers, all from Bangladesh, bought a former Japanese restaurant for $1,800; the owner of the property accepted that price instead of the initial $2,000 because the brothers could only pay $1,600. The brothers established the restaurant Shah Bag because of existing demand and because the area South Asians wanted a place where they could eat familiar cuisine. One of the brothers, Manir Ahmed, immigrated to the United States in 1954. Andrew Jacobs of The New York Times stated that "Manir Ahmed was the one name that was invariably stuffed in the pockets of new arrivals" and that the brothers "are revered as patriarchs in the Bangladeshi community".Most of the restaurateurs that came to the area were from Sylhet Division. The restaurants, many named after films or people or characters seen in films, were popular with hippies in the 1970s who expressed an interest in South Asian culture. Many of the cooks served northern Indian cuisine even though their native Bangladeshi cuisine was significantly different. Olid Ahmed, the nephew of the first restaurateurs in Curry Row, stated that he got assistance from the chef of the Embassy of Pakistan. By the 1980s the restaurants became financially lucrative, and changes in immigration law meant there were more immigrants from Bangladesh. In 1984 there were about 10 South Asian restaurants. In the following decade that number was 27.By 1996, The New York Times reported that several of the restaurants experienced financial issues as Indian restaurants opened in other parts of the New York metropolitan area. With increased competition, the newspaper reported that a "price war" resulted in relationships between people being damaged.In 2008 there were around twelve South Asian restaurants in the area.In 2019 the South Asian-oriented publication The Juggernaut reported that some of the restaurants remained in operation while others had closed.

Hebrew National Orphan Home (HNOH) was an orphanage in Manhattan in New York City. It was founded on December 5, 1912, when a group raised $64 toward establishing a Jewish orthodox home for the care of orphaned and destitute Jewish boys. On October 14, 1913, a committee of the Bessarabian Verband, a group of Romanian Jews, paid the first installment of $400 for the premises at 57 East 7th Street between First and Second Avenues – in what was then the Lower East Side and is now the East Village. On June 7, 1914 HNOH House officially opened with accommodations for 50 boys. Later, the home bought a second tenement that backed onto the original building, creating an enclosed courtyard, and doubling the home's capacity to 100.On July 15, 1919 a facility on Tuckahoe Road in Yonkers, New York was purchased for $300,000, and the home moved there on July 26, 1920. In 1947, it changed its name to Homecrest then it merged with the Gustave Hartman home for children in 1956 under the name of Hartman-Homecrest and in early 1962 Hartman-Homecrest was merged into the Jewish Child Care Association (JCCA) of New York and the name HNOH after 60 years, was no longer used.

The Fifth Street Women's Building Takeover was a feminist protest action in New York City that lasted from January 1 to January 13, 1971. June Arnold, Reeni Goldin, Marizel Rios, and other feminists in the women's liberation movement organized the takeover in late 1970 after the city rebuffed their proposal to establish a women's center in an abandoned city building. Frustrated by the lack of affordable housing and social services for women, over 100 women from a coalition of 40 feminist groups occupied 330 East Fifth Street shortly after midnight on January 1, 1971. The East Fifth Street Women's Action Committee squatted in the building for thirteen days, establishing a women's center with a homeless shelter, day care center, food co-operative, lesbian center, medical clinic, and other services for women. Feminists aimed to renovate and maintain the derelict building themselves, and tradespeople were invited to provide demonstrations so women could learn about carpentry, plumbing, and home repair. Negotiations with city officials failed after the Women's Action Committee refused to provide the city welfare office with a list of women who came to the women's building to receive services. Police raided the women's building on the morning of January 13, 1971 and arrested twenty-four women for trespassing, assault, and resisting arrest. The charges were later dropped, largely due to Arnold's suggestion that the women turn their backs to police photographers and appear in court wearing makeup, coiffed hair, and high heels so they would be unrecognizable to law enforcement. 330 East Fifth Street was demolished and turned into a parking lot for a nearby police precinct. The Fifth Street Women's Building Takeover is one of the most famous protests of the women's liberation movement. Organizers and participants were inspired to pursue other feminist separatist and lesbian feminist causes. Marizel Rios and Jane Lurie went on to found Labyris, the first feminist bookstore in New York City, where they coined the popular feminist slogan "the future is female." Arnold wrote an experimental novel inspired by the takeover, The Cook and the Carpenter. When she could not find a press willing to publish the novel, Arnold and her partner Parke Bowman founded Daughters, Inc., a feminist press that exclusively published feminist and lesbian fiction. Arnold became a leader in the women in print movement, which sought to establish autonomous networks of feminist authors, printers, publishers, and booksellers circulating writings by and for women.
