Abstract

An exploration into how the Jewish immigrant community in the East Baltimore neighborhood at the turn of the twentieth century bought and ate their food. Begining with street vendors and urban peddlers and continuing to examine food retail and show the rise of the delicatessen and what eventually became known as "Corn Beef Row," this study uses food commerce as a lens to examine the change in how people in this neighborhood consumed food and the lasting impact of this food and the places that sold it.
