Welcome to the Lower East Side, one of the most vibrant corners of Manhattan. Here you'll find Jewish delis and faux speakeasies, rusty tenements beside glass high-rises, college bros enjoying the bars and elderly Chinese residents playing cards. Scruffier than the gloss ast Villagenearby, the Lower East Side is filled with hole-in-the-wall dives and modest storefronts hawking surprisingly expensive wares. Stumbling upon them feels like a discovery, until you learn they've been featured in style magazines. Historically an immigrant neighborhood, it has pleasing old-world vestiges, such as shops that sell only pickles or bialys or hats, some in business for over half a century. But due to skyrocketing rents, they're a dying breed. Regardless, it's impossible to deny Lower East Side's only-in-New-York character.

The Lower East Side covers a large area of southeastern Manhattan between Chinatown and the East Village. It is roughly bounded by the East River, the Bowery to the west, Houston Street to the north, and Canal Street/East Broadway to the south. It is served by the B/D/F/M and J/D subway lines. Those living near the western edge of the neighborhood can easily walk to the #6 train at Canal Street. The easternmost part of the neighborhood is poorly served by subways, but the M21 and M55 bus lines help connect it. The M9 and M15 go up and downtown. The bike-sharin it ikesystem has been a game-changer for many in this subway-starved area.

If you're looking to live in a diverse neighborhood with great nightlife, people-watching, shopping and culture, the Lower East Side is an easy sell. Moving here means living where you go out, with a lot of interesting diversions any time of day. There aren't any expansive green spaces, but there are several small neighborhood parks with basketball courts. Hamilton Fish Parkhas an Olympic-sized pool and playground. Corlears Hook Park, on the East River, has large and small dog runs, and great views of the Manhattan and Williamsburg Bridges. Families wanting peace and quiet might consider living elsewhere. There are a lot of noisy bars here, and at night sidewalks are packed, especially on weekends. Now on the radar of the bridge-and-tunnel crowd, the Lower East Side is a destination for a rowdy Saturday night out. Things are more sedate on the west side, i ribecaand th est Village, and in parts of th inancial District.

The Lower East Side is a lively place with a lot to see. For starters, you can get a sense of the old neighborhood at th enement Museum.

Those interested in the Jewish experience can also visit the gorgeou ldridge Street Synagogueand have hand-cut pastrami sandwiches a atz's Delior pickled herring a uss & Daughters. Seventy-year-ol ssex Street Marketserves a cross-section of the neighborhood, selling plantains and tacos, stinky cheese and salted-caramel ice cream. The Henry Street Settlement, founded in 1893, has a rich performance and exhibition schedule at it brons Arts Center. Trendier diversions center around Stanton and Rivington Streets (and their offshoots). There's an enjoyably wide range of drinking establishments, ranging from the Parisian-styl xperimental Cocktail Cluband the beer pu ocal 138to live music venu ianos. Tucked between them are shops selling achingly cool wares, includin piritual America,Pixie Marketo rit N Glory.

Lower East Side History

The Lower East Side began as farmland — one farm parcel owned by Harmanus Rutgers and another owned by James Delancey. (Delancey's farm included an orchard, in the area around today's Orchard Street.) After the Revolutionary War, the land was developed and in the 19th century the neighborhood became a first stop for immigrants. The area has long been defined by its immigrants, with groups cycling in and out — as one grew more affluent and moved on, another arrived. Early settlers were Irish and German, such that the northern portion of the Lower East Side was known as Kleindeutchland, or Little Germany. Later, Italians, Poles and Ukrainians moved into the area. Eastern European Jews arrived in large numbers beginning in the 1880s. There were so many, in fact, that had the area been a separate city, it would have had been largest Jewish city in the world in the late-19th century. The streets were filled withpushcart vendorsand lined with crowded tenements. It wasn't unusual for six or more people to live in two small rooms of a tenement apartment. The apartments often doubled as family workplaces, with many people working in the garment industry.
