On the lower end of Manhattan, Bowery is one of the most popular neighborhoods in New York. This upscale district encompasses a long narrow green space that offers tennis, handball and basketball courts, soccer fields, a playground, and more. This public outdoor space provides residents with a place to play their favorite sport or simply get outdoors in one of the state’s bustiest, most infamous urban areas.

Bowery is a food lover’s paradise with restaurant-lined streets and a trendy spot on every corner. With such a variety of cuisines, atmosphere, and price, there’s something for every foodie in this lower Manhattan neighborhood. Try Vanessa’s Dumpling House for longstanding, well-known dumplings, or visit Vandal for upscale street eats in an artsy setting. Morgenstern’s has the finest ice cream in Bowery, but The Boil specializes in providing the best crawfish and crab to lower Manhattan residents and visitors.
