Lower Eastside is discovered
The old must constantly make way for the new. This is the character of New York. This is how Greenwich Village, founded in 1792, changed from the leading part of the city of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to a paradise for free spirits and Bohemians in the twentieth century. But they were drawn more and more over the years to the East Village. This part of the city, in which former migrants from Germany, Poland, Russia, and Puerto Rico settled, became the center for the hippies. Today increasing numbers of well-paid people live in luxuriously rehabilitated apartments above the art galleries. Artists and students now head for the more southerly and once deserted Lower Eastside that is developing into one of the liveliest parts of town. The Latinos have also settled here and Chinatown, once the Jewish quarter and long ago more than a match for Little Italy, extends its tentacles further eastwards. Immediately opposite in Brooklyn Heights a charm awaits the like of which is nowhere else in New York. Behind small front gardens are lines of sandstone and brick town houses along cobbled streets and avenues that unexpectedly radiate a peaceful tranquillity. Lower down on the Brooklyn Promenade the gaze drifts across the East River to the island of skyscrapers that from here have the appearance of a grandiose backdrop for an improbable drama. ![]() Sofitel New York, New York City 45 West 44th Street New York City, NY 10036 Traveler Recommended: #3 hotel in New York City for romance Casablanca Hotel, New

![]() New York City is a major domestic and international tourist destination, as well as a world economic capital. This constant influx of people means tourism in the city doesn't limit itself to the usual summer and holiday high seasons. Instead, all year is high season. At the times of year when corporate travel tapers off, tourist travel picks up. And travel providers also have to prepare for the influx of international tourists during the extended holidays of other countries. Because there is no low season, there's no best time to visit if you want to avoid crowds and high prices. Instead, you'll add the most value to your trip by avoiding the highest peak seasons and booking well in advance. It's an understatement
to say that New York City is a popular travel destination year-round. Over
the past seven years, an average of 36 million people per year visited
the city. Add that many visitors to a city of eight million residents and
a daily influx of about 800,000 commuters, and you've got a very crowded
city
