§ 01 — About Lower East Side

The neighborhood

The Lower East Side stretches from Houston Street south to the approach to the Manhattan Bridge, Bowery east to the East River. It is the neighborhood through which more American immigration passed than any other between 1880 and 1924, and its built environment — tenement rows, small industrial lofts, and 20th-century public housing — reflects that density.

Since roughly 2010 the neighborhood has added significant new-construction inventory, led by Extell's One Manhattan Square (2019), which at 815 feet is the tallest residential tower south of Midtown. The result is a neighborhood that holds tenement-scale walk-ups on Orchard and Ludlow next to glass towers on the East River waterfront.

Orchard, Ludlow, Essex, and Rivington Streets form the core of the neighborhood's dining and nightlife — one of the city's densest concentrations of independent restaurants, music venues, and late-night bars. The new Essex Market on Delancey replaced the original 1940 public market in 2019.

Lower East Side questions

Is the Lower East Side safe?
The Lower East Side has seen sustained decreases in crime over the past two decades and is considered a safe neighborhood, though foot traffic patterns differ sharply between daytime (quiet on most residential side streets) and late evening (active on Ludlow, Orchard, and Rivington). The NYPD's 7th Precinct covers the neighborhood.
