In an article in today's (Wednesday, Jul 12) Wilkes-Barre Times Leader , "New York's Lower East Side ... once a remarkably diverse lower- and middle-class neighborhood, this area has been in the midst of urbanized upheaval in recent years ... now it is a major destination for New York night life. Restaurants are multiplying and diversifying. Bars and clubs are drawing uptowners on party rounds." For the complete article, "Lower Manhattan streets are paved with hipness and history", please go to: http://www.timesleader.com/mld/timesleader/living/travel/14940230.htm I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting.
