The Lower East Side is one of the most ethnically diverse neighborhoods in New York City. Many of the early immigrants from different parts of the world settled here. As a result, this is where you have Little Italy and Chinatown.

 As the city becomes more prosperous, these ethnic enclaves have also become gentrified. Nevertheless the ambience remains. You can still walk down streets with sign in Chinese. It is a good place to pick up a bargain, or to shop for things that you can't find elsewhere in the city.
