The Lower East Side has always been a very unique part of New York in many different ways. The whole vibe and culture there is more relaxed and homely which is only reinforced by the green oases seen around this part of the city.

The most iconic green spot is without a doubt the East River Park. Here you have it all. The relaxing waters in front of you, with the Williamsburg and Brooklyn coastlines towering up behind it, the beautiful Williamsburg bridge connecting the two sides in the middle of it all, while the concrete jungle encircles the green oase you are walking within. Ever since the immigration really started and all the way up until today this has been a place to come, for the people of LES, to gather their thoughts away from all the city buzz.
