The Greek Community of New York in 19th Century
Special correspondence from New York describes a growing Greek presence in the city, centered in Roosevelt Street where a dense Greek community lives in a large cellar above a busy bar. It notes few schools or churches, limited public life, and a trend to graft ancient Greek terms onto modern usage such as arso kion for a school and boule for senate, with a hint of cultural pride in ancient victories.

Greeks in New York Describe Heritage and Language
The Greek consular contact in New York explains that most Greeks in the city are farmers or vinegrowers with little commerce, a floating population likely to return to Greece. He notes the absence of a proper Greek church, mentions firms like Ralli Bros and Lee Valliere, and contrasts Hellenic identity with European Greek schooling.
