Lower East Side

United States

The Lower East Side connects to 6304 places across 25 topics through 606 Bunkabop connections, with music, film, and art forming the largest clusters. Its ties extend strongly to New York City and Manhattan but also reach Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and London. Second Avenue earned the name "Yiddish Broadway" for its concentration of Yiddish theatre productions in the early 20th century. The neighborhood also hosted First Houses, built in 1935 to 1936 as the first public housing project in the United States.
