Neighborhood: Lower East Side
The Lower East Side has been home to an ethnically diverse population of New Yorkers since the early 19th century, first inhabited by Germans, Italians and Eastern European Jews, and later by Puerto Ricans and Dominicans who dubbed the area “Loisaida.” The archetypical immigrant experience in the city was borne out in overcrowded tenement buildings, many of which still stand in the neighborhood to this day. In its current iteration, the Lower East Side runs roughly between Bowery and the East River, from Canal Street to Houston Street. The westernmost portion is frequently referred to simply as The Bowery, and Chinatown carves out a southwestern section of the LES that juts across to Broadway.
Today, the Lower East Side straddles the line between old and new, historic and gentrified, with tenement buildings being nudged aside by new development condos. The area retains a rough-around-the-edges vibe where edgy street art coats the walls of pricey upscale boutiques. And while the LES is an unbeatable destination for late-night eating and drinking, some might find the open-all-night vibe as a non-option for residential life.
