In this article I am going to break down some of the best restaurants on the Lower East Side of New York City. For the sake of this article, we will consider the lower east side anything south of Houston street, north of canal street, and east of bowery to the east river.
The neighborhood itself was once a Jewish ghetto, but over time has become a trendier area with young adults flooding its bars and restaurants on weekend nights.
What once was home to dive bars and home-style Jewish cuisine is now populated by lounges with long lines and bouncer, and cash-only restaurants that won’t even take your reservations However, certain parts of the area still stay true to the roots of old.
There still are landmarks of old, however, such as Katz’s Delicatessen. This Lower East Side landmark is famous for their pastrami sandwiches.
If you are looking for bagels instead of meats, one of the city’s best can be had at Russ and Daughters. Russ and Daughters is another historically important restaurant and opened its doors in 1914.
If you’re looking for a great place to go in the morning, it doesn’t get much better than Clinton Street Baking Company. Some of the best options on the menu include the fried chicken and waffles, and the blueberry pancakes.
Another fun option is Spitzer’s Corner on Rivington and Ludlow. This is the type of place to go after you are done eating and want to get your drink on. The beer selection is vast at this corner bar and you are pretty guaranteed to find any beer you have ever heard of.
It’s a great place to go regardless of time of day. It is a great time as long as you aren’t counting calories, because those beers add up quickly.
The writer also frequently gives advice regarding subject such as wireless speakers and surround sound systems.
