Street York
What Would Happen if you appeared on a New York Street in 1900?
I've always loved interesting history questions, but if, say, you walked into a New York Restaurant in 1900 wearing your usual 2010 clothes and speaking 2010 language, what would happen?
Would you be considered weird, and would the police be called?
10 points for fastest best answer!
I'd be in jeans and a t shirt, so technically i'd be in my underwear!
The police would probably mistake me for some kind of working class immigrant
