Our Top Lower East Side Moving Tips
Hugging the southeastern corner of Manhattan, LES tops out at Houston Street (pronounced “Hows-ton,” not “Hues-ton” like the city in Texas) and stretches south to South Street. West to east, it goes from Bowery all the way to the water’s edge of the East River. You’ll find plenty of action-packed neighborhoods nearby with Chinatown, Nolita, and the East Village just a hop, skip, and a subway train ride away.
Knowing what’s around the neighborhood is just a sliver of what’s in store for you as a new resident of LES. As such, we wanted to share a few tips and details to get you acquainted with your new home ASAP:
- Cost of housing and transit. It’s no secret that LES is a desirable place to call home. The housing costs of a variety of abodes including condos, lofts and tenement-style buildings reflect that high interest of living here. To that end, if you were set on making one of them your very own, set your sights on a median listing price at $1.1 million. If that’s not in your budget or you prefer a rental to begin with, you’ll also find that average rents are higher in this part of Manhattan. For reference, a one-bedroom in LES averages about $3,648 a month. While these high prices have a hopeful resident doing a double take, one bonus of living in this part of the city is the plentiful public transit options. There’s a multitude of nearby subway lines, which make it easy and economical to commute to and from LES. You’ll have access to the 6, B, D, J, M, F, and Z Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) subway trains. The MTA also operates a robust network of bus lines if commuting primarily above ground suits your needs. Both the buses and subway trains only cost $2.75 for a one-way ride, so that may be where some savings can be found. But there’s more! Being along a waterfront, you won’t be too far away from the Soundview city ferry line (with a one-way ticket costing $4.00). The neighborhood also has ample bike lanes for getting from point A to point B on 2 wheels.
- LES-s is more flavor. If you love latkes, then you’ve come to the right place (though there’s plenty of other items on the neighborhood menus, of course). Two heavy-hitters when it comes to only-in-NYC noshes are located in this neighborhood: Katz’s Deli and Russ and Daughters. Around since 1888, Katz’s Deli serves up mile-high Jewish American food to its regularly hungry crowd. And when it comes to Russ and Daughters, it isn’t just a clever name. This family-owned cafe will have you yearning for the salmon lox you had on your bagel yesterday and coming back in for more. Boasting the best blueberry pancakes in the city (seriously, it’s award winning), Clinton St. Baking Company is a very popular spot to enjoy a meal. This neighborhood is full of incredibly on-trend eateries that’ll have you waiting in line because they’re that good, including Dirty French and Ivan Ramen.
- Live music and the LES nightlife. When it comes to entertainment, the LES is known for the live music scene. You’ll find a wide variety of sounds spanning across the folk, punk, rap, and rock genres among these streets. Buy that ticket and take yourself to the Mercury Lounge, Arlene’s Grocery, Pianos, and the Bowery Ballroom just to name a few. Bring a pal to join you from out of town and you’ll instantly have some serious music cred to your name. If there isn’t a band you’re dying to see or just looking for a different vibe, you can find plenty of other watering holes in LES to suit your specifics. Amped for trivia night with the crew? Parkside Lounge on Wednesday nights until 4am has got what you need. Looking for a Sunday afternoon vibe? The Grand Delancey has a frosty pint on the 7th day of the week waiting for you. Hoping for a spot where you can grab a drink and won’t have to lose your voice having a conversation? The Magician is your new go-to neighborhood bar.
- Culture and commerce. How will you spend your days in LES? There’s so much to explore on all fronts. To begin, this neighborhood is a testament to how NYC has style, but it comes in all price ranges. You can find just the right piece to suit your city sensibilities at one of the many boutiques and thrift stores in the area. Culinarily speaking, there’s a whole world of flavors you can discover within the food markets and shops in LES. A stroll through the historic Essex Market means browsing a variety of vendors selling fresh produce, cheeses (of the dairy and vegan varieties), fish, baked goods, and a number of beers on tap. Need to narrow down the shopping list to just candy? You could spend an entire day picking out your sugar-laden favorites at the well-known Economy Candy. If you need to work off the sugar high, there’s several locations you can visit to both increase your steps and your cultural knowledge. Among them is the Tenement Museum, where you can step inside New York City’s history — literally. It’s housed in a previously shuttered tenement building and you can tour 2 historic buildings at 97 and 103 Orchard Street. Fast forward to fine and fresh art, you can also take a gander at the new art at the New Museum. You’ll never grow tired of what’s on offer in this neighborhood.
