Lower East Side

The Lower East Side is one of the most ethnically diverse neighborhoods in New York City. Many of the early immigrants from different parts of the world settled here. As a result, this is where you have Little Italy and Chinatown.

As the city becomes more prosperous, these ethnic enclaves have also become gentrified. Nevertheless the ambience remains. You can still walk down streets with sign in Chinese. It is a good place to pick up a bargain, or to shop for things that you can't find elsewhere in the city.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
