NIKI RUSS FEDERMAN: Russ & Daughters, for me, was a literal mom-and-pop because it was my mom and my pop. SIMON: Niki Russ Federman is the cousin who practically grew up at the shop. FEDERMAN: As a kid, I would wait at the doors for the produce delivery guys to come. And they would wheel in with their handcarts - they had sacks - 50-pound sacks of onions, carrots, potatoes. And I would climb on top as if it were my chariot.

Eating at Katz's Delicatessen, which has been on the Lower East Side since 1888, is basically a New York rite of passage.

Chin Up, a new Lower East Side cocktail bar that opened this week at 171 Chrystie Street, is staking its entire identity on the idea that gin, long treated as a supporting character, deserves to headline the menu. The bar comes from industry veterans Brian Grummert and Blake Walker, whose experience includes beloved New York spots like Nitecap and Amor y Amargo.

Orchard Street, the eight-block stretch of the Lower East Side named as Time Out's coolest street in NYC this year, has undergone a host of changes in its history. Often, New York City's street-level history gets forgotten-demolished, paved over and deemed too small to make history books. But one museum is dedicated to remembering the stories of this street and its people .

Exotic Weed isn't just high-THC flower. It's cannabis that goes beyond the basics - small-batch concentrates, live resin-infused flower, solventless hash, and strain-specific vapes. It's weed that feels special. And for LES consumers, one New York brand is already leading the conversation: Silly Nice. Handmade in New York, Silly Nice is a Black-Owned and Veteran-Owned brand that has quickly established itself among the Top 150 cannabis names in the state.

For the uninitiated, Anthony Ha and Sadie Mae Burns spent years running Ha's Đặc Biệt, a Vietnamese pop-up that ricocheted across New York City and beyond. During the pandemic, their egg-scallion bánh mì and cabbage rolls stuffed with pork shank developed something close to cult status. They even staged a Paris residency before the New York Times (and just about everyone else) started singing their praises. But the dream was always a permanent home.

According to police sources, the attack took place on Orchard Street between Hester and Grand Streets at 1 a.m. on Sept. 14. Officers from the 7th Precinct responded to reports of an assault. Upon arriving at the scene, they found a 30-year-old man with a stab wound to the neck. Police described the injury as a puncture wound. EMS rushed the victim to Bellevue Hospital, where he is listed in stable condition.

CANYON is designed as a gathering place where video art, sound installations, and live performances can unfold in a dynamic and immersive environment.

We hope to create a new kind of cultural and social space-one designed to support the complexity and ambition of art rich with moving imagery, music and sound, while also rethinking how audiences engage with it.

We've built something really special in Astoria, and the Lower East Side felt like the right place to grow. We're thrilled to have found a space that feels true to who we are.
