Updated · 11 places we track in Lower East Side, first recorded between March 2026 and April 2026

The Lower East Side is still the best argument for eating your way through a neighbourhood. Katz's Delicatessen does the pastrami, Russ and Daughters does the smoked fish, and Una Pizza Napoletana covers the pizza. At night the wine bars take over, with Wildair and The Ten Bells both worth a seat. Katz's hands you a ticket on the way in. Keep hold of it.

How we chose

We track 11 places in Lower East Side filed under bars. 11 of them turned up in creator videos we pulled apart.
