25th Street & 7th Avenue

Upon his arrival in New York, Vanzetti sought out the aid of his cousin, Giacomo Caldera, who was living on 25th Street.  Due to overcrowding, Vanzetti returned to Battery Park to sleep for the night.

"I had note of one address, and thither a fellow-passenger conducted me. It was the house of a countryman of mine, on 25th street, near Seventh Avenue. I remained there for a while, but it became all too evident that there was no room for me in this house, which was overstocked with human beings, like all workingmen's houses. In deep melancholy I left the place towards eight in the evening to look for a place to sleep. I retraced my steps to the Battery, where I took a bed for the night in a suspicious-looking establishment, the best I could afford." ~Bartolomeo Vanzetti
