New York City - East Village & Lower East Side

If you’ve been dreaming of those quintessential New York City moments, then the East Village is your Holy Grail. It’s a mixed bag, indeed, and perhaps one of the most emblematic of today’s city.
admire the off-white webbing of the boxy facade of the New Museum of Contemporary Art, then

- wander in to appreciate mind-bending iterations of art across myriad media

- witness the shockingly cramped conditions of early immigrants at the brilliantly curated Lower East Side Tenement Museum

- pass knickknack shops and sake bars on St Marks Place, then head to the neighboring streets for a quieter round of nibbling and boutique-ing

Coverage includes: Neighbourhood Top Five, Local Life, Getting There & Away, Sights: Lower East Side Tenement Museum, New Museum of Contemporary Art, St Marks Place and more, Eating, East Village Nostalgia Neighborhood Walk, Drinking & Nightlife, Entertainment, Shopping and Sports & Activities.
