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. Traditionally an immigrant, working-class neighborhood, it began rapid gentrification in the mid-2000s, prompting The National Trust for Historic Preservation to place the neighborhood on their list of America's Most Endangered Places.
The Lower East Side is roughly bounded by the Bowery to the west, East Houston Street to the north, the F.D.R. Drive to the east and Canal Street to the south. The western boundary below Grand Street veers east off of the Bowery to approximately Essex Street.
The neighborhood is bordered in the south and west by Chinatown – which extends north to roughly Grand Street, in the west by NoLIta and in the north by East Village.
Historically, the "Lower East Side" referred to the area alongside the East River from about the Manhattan Bridge and Canal Street up to 14th Street, and roughly bounded on the west by Broadway. It included areas known today as East Village, Alphabet City, Chinatown, Bowery, Little Italy, and NoLIta. Parts of the East Village are still known as Loisaida, a Latino pronunciation of "Lower East Side." Avenue C is known directly as "Loisaida" and is home to the Loisaida Festival every summer.
East Side or Eastside may refer to:
Side (Greek: Σίδη) is an ancient Greek city on the southern Mediterranean coast of Turkey, a resort town and one of the best-known classical sites in the country. It lies near Manavgat and the village of Selimiye, 78 km from Antalya in the province of Antalya.
It is located on the eastern part of the Pamphylian coast, which lies about 20 km east of the mouth of the Eurymedon River. Today, as in antiquity, the ancient city is situated on a small north-south peninsula about 1 km long and 400 m across.
Strabo and Arrian both record that Side was founded by Greek settlers from Cyme in Aeolis, a region of western Anatolia. This most likely occurred in the 7th century BC. Its tutelary deity was Athena, whose head adorned its coinage.
Dating from the tenth century B.C., its coinage bore the head of Athena (Minerva), the patroness of the city, with a legend. Its people, a piratical horde, quickly forgot their own language to adopt that of the aborigines.
Possessing a good harbour for small-craft boats, Side's natural geography made it one of the most important places in Pamphylia and one of the most important trade centres in the region. According to Arrian, when settlers from Cyme came to Side, they could not understand the dialect. After a short while, the influence of this indigenous tongue was so great that the newcomers forgot their native Greek and started using the language of Side. Excavations have revealed several inscriptions written in this language. The inscriptions, dating from the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC, remain undeciphered, but testify that the local language was still in use several centuries after colonisation. Another object found in the excavations at Side, a basalt column base from the 7th century BC and attributable to the Neo-Hittites, provides further evidence of the site's early history. The name Side may be Anatolian in origin, meaning pomegranate.

It's roughly located between Houston Street to the north, the East River on the east, Canal Street to the south, and Bowery to the west. Keep in mind that the boundaries of this neighborhood are not exactly defined because this area is in constant change and renewal and often it's hard to tell exactly ...
Through interviews with a broad spectrum of Lower East residents, this documentary commissioned by Two Bridges Neighborhood Council explores the impact of gentrification on their lives. As real estate prices have increased, many long-term residents have been displaced and a number of well-known family businesses have shut their doors. Landlords have used both legal and illegal means to evict residential and commercial tenants. Meanwhile, conditions have improved in the community. Crime is down and city services have improved. The filmmakers interviewed long-term residents and new arrivals, people on all sides of the complex and controversial issue of gentrification. The film is intended to spark a dialogue — and eventually a campaign — to preserve the diversity, vitality, and unique cult...

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.

Walking around Chinatown and The Lower East Side of Manhattan never seems to get old. The neighborhoods have been reshaped by gentrification in recent years, but plenty of Chinese flavor still exists. This store on Eldridge Street obviously caters to a Chinese clientele, although the good values and impressive selections are available to all. Lin's Marlboro 99 Cent has a mix of everything, from personal care products such as toothpaste to decorative items like vases. If you're shopping on Canal Street, Lin's Marlboro 99 Cent is a convenient stop to grab a refreshing can of soda and snack. Betteryet, pick up some treats to take home with you. If you're feeling lucky, Lin's Marlboro 99 Cent has a full array of lottery tickets. The place has a positive vibe to it, and I purchased a Mega M...

People say they've got minds of their own
They'll get sucked in - then they'll know
They get brainwashed into doing things
Things that they never really believed
Get up fight back - take a stand
Time is now - take a stand
Before it's too late - take a stand
Get up fight back
They hear - they see - take a stand
They're looking for an easy way out
Got to make sure they don't sap the will from you
Got to make sure they don't make a fool out of you
Get up fight back - take a stand
Time is now - take a stand
Before it's too late - take a stand
Get up fight back
You've got to - take a stand
Until you die - take a stand
In my grave - take a stand
I'll never give in - take a stand
