The
Lower East Side
Some background…. The
“L.E.S.”
Once home of Jewish Immigrants who settled along Houston, Ludlow, and
Orchard Streets in the early 1900’s. Today the “Lower East Side” is the
new hotspot. Home to artists, musicians – and Bohemians at heart. You
will find a mix of very well merchandised vintage stores and boutiques
carrying the latest trends as well as uber chic boutique hotels,
apartment buildings, cafes and restaurants.
The
look around the LES is very young and trendy…. For gals, boots paired
with a Halter dress, denim mini skirt or cut off shorts and halter
tops. For the guys, low slung denim jeans in the latest washes paired
with a graphic tee along with the latest converse, addidas or vans. The
looks are topped off with Big Sunglasses seen on both the guys and the
gals.
Let’s shop…….
Orchard Street which is
known as “Bargain Street” gained its popularity attracting customers
with kiosks set up all along the street with the most wanted items of
the times and shop keepers ready to haggle and ‘make a deal’.
