This is a quintessential 'hipster asian' spot. Long waits, so best to go around 6pm to put your name down, then grab a drink at quirky 169 bar or come back home for an apertif.

You can't beat price/quality for Asian in this neighborhood. All kinds of noodle soups, but the fried dumplings are probably their best-kept secret. You can eat well here for $6.

Drinks & Nightlife

Super local bar with good prices and friendly staff. Unpretentious mediterranean-inflected food is yummier than barfood needs to be! No surprise as these are also the owners of neighborhood Greek fave Kiki's a few doors down.

So happy they preserved this for all the history buffs! The LES is all about the tenements, and this is where you go to learn about the rich immigration history.

Entertainment & Activities

This theater shows old and alternative movies. How better to spend a night than Jean Luc Godard on the big screen? Seats are reserved, so no need to show up early, but get tickets ahead of time and don't be late - they don't have ads before the movie.

Quirky market with prepared foods as well as large grocery. Great prices on produce - my favorite is the Asian family on the far north side of the market. Pain d'Avignon has amazing bread, Formaggio is a must for meat & cheese, and Saxelby has amazing US cheeses.
