Irrelevant sections
[edit]The following was removed fromt he article for irrelevancy to Fulton Fish Market, which this article is supposed to be about:
== Other wholesale food markets == Of the various wholesale food markets once common in Manhattan, as of 2006, only the Meat Market on the West Side around 14th Street remains. The huge, rambling and historic Washington Market wholesale produce market below Chambers Street, also on the West Side, was displaced to the Bronx both for modern facilities and for construction of the World Trade Center.
It can be moved to a higher level aricle if someone wants to start one.Student7 (talk) 17:36, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
Left the following pertaining to Fulton Fish Market in the article, but here is the entire article if, again, someone wants to make a proper article with a proper title including other markets:
"The Fulton Fish Market was one of New York's earliest open-air fish markets. From a New York newspaper dated 1831:
In New York, there are a number of Markets. Those called Fulton and Washington Markets are the largest. Fulton Market is at the East end of Fulton Street near the East River, and the Washington Market is on the West end, near the North River. The first was formerly situated in Maiden Lane on the East River side, and was called Fly Market. The latter was also in Maiden Lane, near Broadway, and went by the name Bear Market. These are the two principal markets. The next in size is Catherine Market, on Catherine Street, East River. There is also Franklin Market, in Old Slip; Centre Market, in Grand, near Orange Street; Linton Market, North River, foot of Canal Street; Essex Market, Essex Street; Grand Street Market, at the Williamsburgh Ferry; and the Tomkins Market, at the junction of the Third Avenue and the Bowery.
