Lower East Side

The Lower East Side is a neighborhood in the southeastern part of New York City borough of Manhattan. It has traditionally been an immigrant, working class neighborhood, but it has undergone gentrification in recent years and is increasingly populated by young professionals and students.
Nightlife and live music As the neighborhood gentrified and became safer at night, it has become a popular late night destination. Orchard, Ludlow and Clinton Streets between Rivington Street and Houston Street have become especially packed at night.
The Lower East Side is home to many live music venues. Up and coming alternative rock bands play at Bowery Ballroom on Delancey Street and Mercury Lounge on East Houston Street, while indie and lesser known bands play at the many local bars and venues that offer performance space.
The L.E.S. is located within the Streets from Houston to Delancey Street and The Bowery to the East River.
