For generations of immigrants, the Lower East Side is where it all began. For a new generation of emerging artists and innovative merchants, the LES is where it's beginning - again.

Historically characterized by tenements and pushcarts, Orchard Street got its fame more than 200 years ago, when families squeezed into the tall, cramped buildings that filled lower Manhattan. Industrious immigrants became the Lower East Side business owners as they hit the streets, selling their wares from potato sacks to the thousands of local shoppers. Successful business owners expanded their inventory, purchased pushcarts - and eventually storefronts, making Orchard Street one of the busiest commercial districts in the world.
