Ahh the Lower East Side, one of the last but already gentrified, final frontiers of NYC. Long gone are the days of abandoned and burned down buildings and empty lots. One of the oldest neighborhoods of New York City Tourstoday, it’s a live and vibrant area where the locals mix with the newly arrived implants. Where chic boutiques mix with local bodegas (Spanish for deli’s) and classy hotels like the Rivington, shares a street with 19th century tenement buildings.

The area is well know for its festivities outside as well; artists, performances and shows are constant in the summer time and through out the year.The streets, adorned by cobble stones and tall 19th century lighting posts are a warm welcome to all tourists and New Yorkers alike.
