Crowds of people fill an outdoor market on the East Side of New York City the day before the Jewish New Year. Long rows of tables or carts with fruits and vegetables, clothing and other items fill the street. Awnings attached to the houses bordering the street on the left cover additional merchants' stands. In the foreground, a man carries a large basket of bread on his shoulder. A four-story sign on a building in the background advertises a wine and liquor house. To the right of the image, children play in a large, fenced-in yard.
