Lower East Side

I don’t know why I like the Lower East Side, sometimes abbreviated as LES. There are more elegant and well-known neighborhoods in Manhattan, but there is a hip and creative feeling here that inspires me. Probably because of rapid gentrification in the mid-2000s. Both times I visited New York City so far, I have stayed in Lower East Side. But I’m not sure if it is going to be the third trip because of the pandemic.
