The Lower East Side is a culturally unique neighborhood that is vital to the history of NYC and to many cultural movements that came out of the people who lived, worked and died here. Today, the L.E.S. is a vibrant community that is engaged in issues of cultural preservation, sustainability, climate change, housing affordability and community organizing. This blog aims to celebrate these efforts and look to the future of the L.E.S. Learn more about Fourth Arts Block and follow us on Tumblr.
