The Bowery is a small neighborhood in southern Manhattan that got its name after the oldest street in New York. Although it was known as a rough and poor district in the past, it has been transformed as new residential houses and hotels emerged. It now combines historical sites with modern architecture and trendy shops, which makes it one of the most unique neighborhoods in Manhattan. Sara D. Roosevelt Park is in the heart of Bowery, allowing the locals and tourists to enjoy some greenery and relaxation in between all the tightly packed buildings of the area.

Since 1977, New Museum became one of the neighborhoods’ major attractions. This contemporary art museum started as a helping hand for local emerging artists, and is now offering guided tours, rotating exhibits and interesting workshops for the entire family. If you’re enjoying literature and performance arts even more, you’ll love the intimate atmosphere at the Bowery Poetry. In the evening visit some of the local bars and pubs such as the Wise Men and The Wren, or enjoy a concert in Bowery Electric rock music venue.
