1900 jews and puerto ricans

[Snakeeater]

i did some research on wikipedia and know all about the emigration of jew and puerto ricans to manhattan...however i need to know what neighborhoods they mostly ended up in the years between 1900 - 1905.
im asking because im writing a story and i need some small amount of info for this one portion. i want to be historically correct and not seem like i dont know what im talking about

Like most immigrants during that time period, I would guess that the Lower East Side would be one of the main places they would have settled in.

yeah in some of the google things i searched it said most jewish emigrates went to the lower east side, but i need specific and im not really computer friendly so searching isnt easy for me.
im not saying i want anyone to do the work for me but if anyone has the knowledge it would help. the story im writing isnt about the past,m it just has a few key elements from the past and i dont want to sound like s pace cadet.

i just need to know where most of the puerto rican emigrates went to specifically and the jewish ppl as well

The majority of Jewish immigrants in that time period settled in the Lower East Side.

Puerto Rican immigration to the US was not significant until 1917, and most in Manhattan settled in what became Spanish Harlem. A large wave comparable to the levels of the early 1900s for other ethnic groups began in the early 1950s.

You can start research here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_New_York_City#Puerto_Rican), and follow the links.

Thats up my alley...look to my name....
Tyler Anbinder wrote a book a few years ago that I read and it started by love affair with the history of this city...its called the Five Points....numerous mention of the jews who immigrated to this country and had business and trade.
It is a great read as to the history of this city.....a must read.

Namming New York by Sanna Fierstein is a coll handy giude.......it does not mention much about the topic you are looking into......just the history of the street names we walk on and pass.
