Best Restaurants in Lower East Side
95 restaurants analyzed · New York
The Lower East Side has a strong restaurant and bar scene along the blocks south of Houston and east of the Bowery, with a good mix of Asian, French, and modern American cooking alongside the area's historic Jewish delis. Prices are mostly moderate, and the neighborhood has more range than many visitors expect. Orchard Street and the surrounding blocks are the best place to start exploring.
