Stanton St, Bowery

Stanton is another major player in the LES and it has a lot to do and see. It's a very hipster part of town. So, the people are rude, dirty and too cool. And, it can be insane at night when all the kiddies go out to drink their PBR. But, I still like it.
Stanton has a great Mexican place (at Chrystie) called Pancho's cafe if you're in the mood for a quick Mexi meal. The corner playground was the second African Burial Ground that was created in 1797. The bodies were "moved" in 1853; but we all know the bodies are never actually moved in this city. I think it's eerie to watch all of these kids literally play in a cemetery.
The corner of Stanton and Allen houses Epstein's Bar. I like this place a lot despite the fact that it can get a little fratty. Just across the street is The Slipper Room. It's a weird bar that doesn't smell very good but they also have great readings, bands and comedy shows there. Arlene's Grocery is at Ludlow and if you haven't seen their rock and roll karaoke, you haven't lived. There's an actual band that plays along with the karaoke singers and it is beyond fun.
179 Stanton is where both Leonard Cohen and Marlon Brando both lived for some time.
Meatball Shop (at Allen) is one of my favorite restaurants in New York. I friggin love this place. The food is superb and the vibe is so cool. It's tiny and packed so you always have to wait. But, the music is always fantastic and there is nothing less than amazing on the menu all of which you can mix and match -- right down to the ice cream sandwiches.

Stanton Street is filled with an abundance of history. It has the Stanton Street Shul, a cool Jewish place. It has an African burial ground. The Stanton Street Settlement house set up along the ideas of Jane Adams which have people doing volunteer work.

It has cool hang out known as the Bluestocking Books. Louis Zuflacht a place where I shop for clothes whenever I stroll down Stanton Street.

However the place that always brings me back to Stanton Street is the vegan food at Organic Avenue. I have to visit this place whenever I am in New York. Here you get the best vegan food money can buy.

I have been to Stanton Street for a few times. There are many attractions in its surrounding but the one i like the most is the Hamilton fish Park.Among the most remarkable public recreational facilities in the country, this the pools represents the forefront of design and technology. Hamilton Fish Pool is one major attractions for the neighborhood children and aspiring athletes and changing the way millions of New Yorkers spent their leisure time.

As the immigrant populations poured into Manhattan in the 19th Century they brought there own unique needs with them. One of those needs was the need for cemetery headstones. Many of these headstones simply were not available anywhere else in the United States. For example the large immigrant Jewish population needed headstones in Hebrew. Or Russian immigrants need headstones in crylic. Buisnessmen saw the need and several headstone companies opened on the lower east side. The last of these buisnesses is Silver Monument Works at 125 Stanton at Essex. At one time there were several monument companies in the area. Silver is the only one that remains. Although there may have never been a official "Monument District" but the importance of such an industry cannot be underappreciated.
