The Fourth Ward, today known as the "Two Bridges" neighborhood, was a
rough, working-class, waterfront district which neighbored the infamous
Five Points in the 19th century. Once one of the poorest and most
hazardous slums in NYC, the neighborhood today still retains much of the
grittiness and vibrancy of old-fashioned NYC, as gentrification has yet
to overwhelm the area.
