    I made a reservation for my niece and her Australian boyfriend who are visiting New York from Toronto. Her Nana and I treated them to dinner for her birthday. They absolutely loved it! And judging by the photos, the food looked fabulous! Thank you for the extra touch by giving her a birthday cupcake. I’ve been hearing about Beauty & Essex for years from a fellow Canadian. I hope I get to visit one day! Thanks again for giving them a wonderful experience.

    We always have a great time at Bar Contra. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Small plates from wild air are delicious and the cocktails are creative and there is something for every one. Theo is the best! We always try to sit at the bar when him and his colleague are there, usually on Fridays. Will be coming back repeatedly

Discover Lower East Side

The Lower East Side (LES) has experienced significant change over the past few decades. While aspects of the neighborhood’s historic Jewish roots remain, like Katz’s Deli and the Lower East Side Tenement Museum, recent college graduates and young professionals have contributed to the evolution of the area. Burgeoning art galleries, bars and tiny, trendy cafes are all a part of the Lower East Side today.
