RECOMMENDED: Full guide to the Lower East Side
Chrystie Street, Lower East Side
If you’re into contemporary art from emerging creators, dancing until 4am at a dive bar with no pop music on the jukebox and hunting for vintage wares, you should pay a visit to New York’s former bargain district: the Lower East Side. The next time you head to this nabe, treat yourself to a night out on Chrystie Street and go to a French restaurant with millennial-pink accents, a watering hole with a rustic European vibe and a nearby gallery, where you can ogle brilliant paintings of our fair city.
