History of New-York City : Walk On The Lower East Side
The Lower East Side, sometimes abbreviated as LES, is a neighborhood in the southeastern part of the New York City borough of Manhattan, roughly located between the Bowery and the East River, and Canal Street and Houston Street.
It is one of the oldest neighborhoods of New-York city which has long been a lower-class worker neighborhood and often a poor and ethnically diverse section of New York. As well as Irish, Italians, Poles, Ukrainians, and other ethnic groups, it once had a sizeable German population and was known as Little Germany (Kleindeutschland).
And remembered especially as a place of Jewish beginnings too in contemporary, impoverished Ashkenazi American Jewish culture.
