曼哈顿的下东区融合了新旧、波西米亚与高端的元素：这里有时尚的酒吧和音乐场所，还有一家备受尊敬的老式、不拘一格的店，可能提供世界上最好吃的熏牛肉三明治，以及很棒的百吉饼。

了解

下东区 Orchard 和 Rivington 街角

下东区被休斯顿街、鲍厄里街、曼哈顿大桥和东河环绕，该社区的中心是 Orchard 街。两个多世纪以来，下东区一直是工人阶级移民社区：19世纪早期，这里有大量的爱尔兰和德国移民；到1900年，这里是主要的犹太人聚居区。如今，这条街已成为一个真正的多元文化融合地，时尚精品店、法式咖啡馆和门禁森严的夜店点缀在折扣服装店、西班牙杂货店以及销售从T恤到设计师服装到光明神灯等各种商品的夫妻店之间。东村也曾被认为是下东区的一部分，但如今已发展出自己的特色。

纽约的服装行业起源于此。该地区曾被称为纽约最受欢迎的 bargain beat（廉价淘宝地），认真的购物者们在这里能找到绝佳的便宜货（尤其是在周日下午的 Orchard 街），但随着租金飙升，以及 SoHo 区的尖端新设计师和精品店纷纷涌入该地区，这一切都已成为过去。

如今，许多以前被认为是下东区的一部分，位于鲍厄里街以东和曼哈顿大桥立交桥以西的区域，实际上已成为唐人街的一部分，因为又一波移民继续向北和向东迁移。

抵达

几条公交线路开往下东区，或者您可以乘坐J、M 或 Z 地铁线到 Essex Street；乘坐F线到 Delancey Street（与J/M/Z Essex St.站相连）、East Broadway 或 2nd Avenue；或者您可以乘坐B或D线到 Grand Street。

• 4 东河公园, Montgomery St. 到 E. 12 St.，FDR Drive. 这个公园有点简陋，但漫步道上有美丽的景色，如果你在7月4日那天在附近，这里是你观看烟花的好地方，如果你没被邀请到某人的屋顶，并且已经太晚无法登上高架的FDR Drive。只要确保你的视线不被树木遮挡即可。  
• 5 萨拉·德拉诺·罗斯福公园, Chrystie St (介于 Houston 和 Canal St 之间). 与唐人街共享。公园中介于 Delancey 和 Houston St 之间的区域有一个足球场和一些篮球场，所以除了些许宁静的绿地外，在天气好的时候，你还可能看到人们进行体育活动，或者自己也参与其中。不过天黑后要小心老鼠，虽然它们不太可能对你造成危险，但它们会在这里进行短跑冲刺并寻找食物。

活动

圣奥古斯丁教堂，位于 290 Henry Street

• 1 下东区犹太保守会, 235 East Broadway. LESJC 组织下东区的犹太区私人和公共导览。这些导览很特别，因为它们会带游客进入犹太教堂内部，而不仅仅是外观。请提前购票，因为门票很快售罄。  
• 2 阳光影院, 143 E Houston St (between Forsyth St and Eldridge St), ☏ +1 212-260-7289. This relatively new multiplex cinema, done up to look like a movie palace of old, quickly became a landmark in the neighborhood, and is an excellent place to watch a film.  

购物

• 1 Bluestockings Radical Books, 172 Allen St. (between Stanton and Rivington), ☏ +1 212-777-6028. Daily 11AM-11PM. A fun radical feminist bookstore that also has a little cafe and a regular calendar of readings and other events.  
• 2 Moishe's Kosher Bakery, 504 Grand Street #1 (between Willett St. and Columbia St), ☏ +1 212-673-5832. Su–Th 9:30AM–6:30PM, F 9:30AM–3PM, Sa closed. This is an old-fashioned kosher bakery. Among their excellent offerings are their strudels, mandel bread, rugelach, black & whites, danishes, almond horns, cinnamon sticks and kichlach (big crispy sugar cookies), and their challahs are also very popular. Their hamantashen are also good. The Chinese almond cookies are good, but some of the smaller cookies are not too consistent in quality. The counterwomen are always willing to help you select items that were baked that day. Items that are in individual portion size, like black & whites, danishes, and almond horns, cost around $2.50-$3 apiece, but rugelach and mandel bread are quite a lot more expensive and must be bought by the quarter pound (minimum) or as an entire large piece, respectively. The staff will be happy to cut you a piece of strudel, and they will also slice challah for you without extra charge. Wednesdays and Thursdays are particularly good days to visit, as they have fresh chocolate and sometimes also cinnamon babka those days, and with any luck, you can get some that's still warm (unfortunately, they no longer sell it by the slice; you'll have to get half a babka or an entire one). There is no place to sit, so all business is for takeout, and they do not have napkins or utensils to give you. (updated Apr 2021)

餐饮

This temple of meat and throwback to the Jewish delicatessens of yesteryear, Katz's has historic photos on the wall and a kaleidoscopic staff and clientele, all united in their love of pastrami

• 1 Congee Village, 100 Allen St (just south of Delancey), ☏ +1 212-941-1818. Daily 11:00AM-10:00PM. Hong Kong-style food. It is a very popular banquet spot for Chinese people, with a wide and interesting menu including some of the best hot and sour soup you'll find in Manhattan and the garlicky house special chicken. Some people find the food overly oily, though. Seafood dishes are expensive, but most of the rest of the menu remains a good value as of 2022, as it has been for decades. Call for reservations if you have a large party or are going for dinner on a weekend. Expect to pay $20-35/person for a large meal. (updated Aug 2022)
• 2 Doughnut Plant, 379 Grand St (between Essex and Norfolk; Subway:  F  J  M  Z  to Delancey St; Bus: 14A to Grand St. (last stop westbound)), ☏ +1 212-505-3700. Tu-Su 6:30AM-6:30PM. This ain't no Dunkin' Donuts! Each doughnut costs roughly $2.50, but the place is a really fabulous, artisanal palace (albeit humble-looking) of doughnutry.  
• 3 Hot Pot Village (formerly Congee Bowery), 207 Bowery (just south of Rivington St), ☏ +1 212-766-2828. Congee Village's sister restaurant specializes in hotpot.  
• 4 Katz's Deli, 205 E Houston St (at Ludlow), ☏ +1 212-254-2246. A classic NYC delicatessen. The famous fake orgasm scene in When Harry Met Sally was shot here. Have what she was having: A pastrami sandwich. If you're a pastrami lover, you will long remember your trip to this establishment. Don't lose your ticket, and don't forget to tip the counterman at least $1 per sandwich. If you want something other than pastrami, their corned beef and brisket vie for second best and even their turkey is fine (though it's probably not what you're there for); make sure to ask for anything "juicy" (i.e., fatty).  
• 5 Yonah Schimmel's Knishes Bakery, 137 E Houston St (between Orchard and Allen), ☏ +1 212-477-2858. Claims to have served "The World’s Finest Knishes since 1910" - a bakery that has been selling knishes on the Lower East Side since 1890 from its original location on Houston Street. As the Lower East Side has changed over the decades and many of its Jewish residents have departed, Yonah Schimmel's is one of the few distinctly Jewish businesses and restaurants that remain as a fixture of this largely-departed culture and cuisine.  

饮品

The Lower East Side is a very popular neighborhood for drinking, especially on the part of young people, who come from nearby, other parts of town, the suburbs, and even foreign countries — meaning that, especially on weekend nights, it can be uncomfortably packed, with tremendous crowding on the streets as well as on lines to get into bars and in the bars, themselves. Here are some highlights of the scene

• 1 The Whiskey Ward, 121 Essex St. (Between Delancey and Rivington.  F  M  J  Z  train to Delancey/Essex or M14 bus), ☏ +1 212-477-2998. This whiskey specialist bar can be quiet on weekdays. It's a good spot for anyone who enjoys whiskey or/and wants to explore more whiskeys, as they have a selection of unusual bourbons, ryes, Scotches, and Irish whiskeys. The prices for whiskeys that are also found in non-specialist bars may be higher here, but the bartenders are real experts, who can guide you in selecting 3 half-pours for a whiskey flight (or two flights, if you aren't driving and have the tolerance). The flights are priced as a sum of exactly half the cost of a shot for each whiskey or rye you drink. There are also beers on tap, etc., so if you are with a non-whiskey drinker, do not despair.  

住宿

• 1 Hotel on Rivington, 107 Rivington St, ☏ +1 212-475-2600. 21-story glass tower full-service hotel with unobstructed views.  
• 2 Holiday Inn Lower East Side, 150 Delancey Street, ☏ +1 212-475-2500, Guest.Services@holidayinnnyc.com. Check-in: 3PM, check-out: 11AM. A fairly standard Holiday Inn except for the Retro diner serving as the hotel's restaurant. This is the hotel located the deepest into the Lower East side of all, and hence it is in a slightly deserted area, facing a parking crater. (updated Aug 2016)
• 3 Hotel Indigo Lower East Side, 171 Ludlow Street. The idea of Intercontinental's Indigo chain is to provide a boutique hotel experience in a chain hotel, but many of the Indigos fail to live up to that. The one in Lower East Side, however, wholly does with a truly unique experience provided by its loft-like spaces and light, airy rooms echoing Scandinvaian designs, wooden flooring and practical designer furniture included. The supertall outlier in a low-rise neighbourhood provides multiple terraces as its slender build tapers off towards the top, one even includes a small pool. The Mr. Purple rooftop bar is an institution, and works of art can be found throughout the hotel. The only letdown may be the rather large room count, approaching 300 - meaning also that only the best rooms get the hotel's signature views. (updated Aug 2016)

下一站

The obvious places to go next are

• the East Village, which is to a large extent a northern extension of the Lower East Side;
• 唐人街;
• NoLiTa, a neighborhood of upscale boutiques, quiet residential streets and loud clubs that was once the northern part of Little Italy and is not part of Chinatown but is covered in the Chinatown guide; and
• SoHo, a little ways further to the west than NoLiTa, much more crowded with tourists and shoppers, but with a lot of beautiful, classic buildings and cobblestoned side streets. All of these neighborhoods are easily walkable from the Lower East Side, for a person of normal fitness.

You can also access Williamsburg by taking the M, J or Z trains or walking across the Williamsburg Bridge, and DUMBO and Downtown Brooklyn are on the other side of the Manhattan Bridge or the first and second stops on the F train in Brooklyn, respectively.
