Historically gritty and graffitied, the Lower East Side is a cultural melting pot that has evolved into one of the trendiest neighborhoods in New York City. To experience the LES is to taste its immigrant-influenced recipes in restaurants both centuries-old and new; to hear its rock-and-roll roots in its still-rollicking music scene; and to catch glimpses of its tenement past in the six-story brick buildings that now house indie designers, avant-garde galleries and hip speakeasies. On the Lower East Side, history and invention go hand in hand — whether you’re noshing on the best noodles of your life at a late-night hot spot or keeping the beat as an up-and-coming band brings down the house.
The New Museum is a Lower East Side cultural mecca, and the only dedicated contemporary art museum in Manhattan. The building itself, located on the Bowery, is a stunner — and a fitting home for the adventuresome exhibits it curates.
Music lovers should slip into Ludlow Guitars, which is virtually next door to Hotel Indigo Lower East Side New York. The shop speaks to the rock-and-roll history of the neighborhood, a breeding ground for such acts as the Ramones, Velvet Underground and Blondie.
The 1920s façade of the Bowery Ballroom belies the cutting-edge acts you can catch inside. The cavernous venue is a fantastic spot to see soon-to-be-famous indie bands, and the lounge downstairs is the perfect place for a pre-show drink.
Once home to the servants of Astor mansion and connected to the landmark through underground tunnels, Mercury Lounge is the number-one indie rock club and top live music venue on the Lower East Side. It showcases a variety of artists and, notably, launched The Strokes’ career.
Rockwood Music Hall features three stages and a schedule packed with a wide range of performers spanning genres. Though many acts are local or lesser-known (for now), you never know what surprise guests may show up.
An LES landmark since 1888, Katz’s is as famous for its delicious sandwiches — try the pastrami on rye — as it is for its appearance in the classic rom-com When Harry Met Sally.
Head to this sit-down outpost of the century-old Russ & Daughters Appetizers (purveyors of smoked fish and bagels) for New York “noshes,” “boards” and “platters.” Think caviar, latkes and lox, and don’t skimp on dessert, which runs from challah bread pudding to creamy blintzes.
That line you see at Clinton Street Baking Company is a queue of faithful biscuit fans; the flaky pastry is the bakery’s signature item. Beyond its popular brunch, the restaurant also excels at locally sourced daytime and dinner menus, with the fried chicken and waffles topping our list.
Plan your event in one of the most exciting neighborhoods in NYC. The Gallery has 800 square feet of versatile meeting space that overlooks a private terrace. It can host 12-20 people while natural light flows through floor-to-ceiling windows.
