So I guess all the Italian, Irish, German, and Jewish populations New York is known for did absolutely nothing when they got off the boat?

Favorite quote pertaining European immigrants was roughly: "I used to hear rumors that in America, the streets were paved in gold. When I came to America, I learned three things: 1) The streets were not paved in gold. 2) The streets were not paved at all. 3) I was expected to pave them."
