Scary NYC neighborhood,1888

Here's a photo from Jacob Riis's 1890 classic "How the Other Half Lives," "an early publication... documenting squalid living conditions in New York City slums in the 1880s." It shows "Bandits Roost, at 59 Mulberry Street (Mulberry Bend), was the most crime-ridden, dangerous part of all New York City." Those guys are clearly total bad-asses.
