East Side neighborhood (roughly 72nd St. to 96th St. and 3rd, 2nd and 1st Avenues) that was mostly working class German, Irish and both Catholic and Protestant parishes side by side. Famous folks from there include the Marx Brothers, James Cagney and Tony Curtis.

We moved to Queens in the 1960s and I've lived there (Rosedale, Kew Gardens and Briarwood) ever since.
