... where cultures mingle.
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
gained its flavor more than 200 years ago, when families squeezed into the
tall, cramped buildings that filled lower Manhattan. Industrious
immigrants became the Lower East Side's first 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.
The
potato sacks of yester-year and that same entrepreneurial spirit have
paved the way for some of today's most popular restaurants and boutiques
in New York. The neighborhood so passionately sought for its amazing
bargains, has become one of the top destinations for fashion, dining,
theatre and nightlife.
Now,
old-world shops neighbor a new generation of boutiques and galleries that
showcase the New York's avant-garde fashion scene. The time-honored
practice of noshing is easily achieved at one of the area's many
distinctive restaurants and food shops - whether you crave a towering
pastrami sandwiches or eclectic cuisine. As the sun goes down, the streets
light up on the LES with a sprinkling of poetry readings, local bands,
cozy lounges, bars and restaurants.
Over a
century after hardworking immigrant families first crowded the tenements
of Orchard Street, visitors from around the world are rediscovering the
historic neighborhood and finding new surprises.
