The Lower East Side is located on the south-eastern side of Manhattan, outlined by Houston Street to the north, the East River on the east, Canal Street to the south, and Bowery to the west.

The Lower East Side is one of Manhattans storied neighborhoods. In the late 1800's, many working class immigrants arrived in New York and lived in the many tenement buildings in the Lower East Side. The Lower East Side has been called home by many different ethnic groups of the world.

Orchard Street used to be full of affordable and wholesale clothing stores. This street was even named "Bargain District". In the past ten years or so, though, the cheap stores have closed down to leave space to new designer shops, galleries and trendy restaurants and bars. The Bargain District continues to live on along Delancey Street but in a smaller form.

Furthermore, the Lower East Side is now a favorite place of many tourists and young-at-heart people who want to experience the New York City night life.

Café Falai at 68 Clinton Street is a nice Italian style coffee shop where you can have a hot cappuccino and croissant in the morning or a tasty dinner at night.

Across the street you can try brick oven pizza at San Marzano Pizzeria (71 Clinton Street), along with a nice glass of wine or beer.

The Orchard is another great restaurant located at 162 Orchard Street where you can find a mix of trendy European flavors blended in a New York-style meal.

Nightlife

You can choose among many restaurants of all kinds of international cuisine, or relax at any cafes with a cappuccino and croissant or dance and drink all night long in the many clubs and lounges of the area, which offer music and fun every night.

Check out the Mercury Lounge at 217 E. Houston Street where you can catch some fun rock bands almost every night. Arlene's Grocery at 95 Stanton Street is another entertaining place, which was originally a grocery store and is now a bar. Here you can see live music every night of the week. If you like dancing and want to have a blast, you should visit the Sapphire Lounge at 249 Eldridge Street, where you can dance to the rhythm of various world beats.

I really love America, but not in France. I watched the French video, liked it, but I like NY. Need more video from the streets of Harlem.

@nagyzoltangabor Hello nagyzoltangabor ! We already have a couple of videos about the Harlem neighborhoods such as Central & West Harlem, Hamilton Heights, or East Harlem that you can check out. We will try to add more soon :)

[nagyzoltangabor]

David! Believe me, I like Harlem. I've never been in Harlem, but for something like that. A little more off the streets and the film should shop around to. Very good jobs. Congratulations!
