Lower East Side, Manhattan
The Lower East Side is a neighborhood of the New York City borough of Manhattan. It is situated alongside the East River from about the Manhattan Bridge up to 14th Street, and including the Stuyvesant Town housing development. On the west it is roughly bounded by Broadway. Parts of it are also referred to as "Loisaida", a blurring together that derives from a Latino pronunication of the three-word name. The area below Houston Street is now infrequently referred to as "LoHo", standing for "Lower than Houston" (as opposed to "SoHo" which is on the west side "South of Houston"). This nomenclature is largely promoted by real estate companies.
