Allen & Delancey

115 Allen Street
Visit their website
Allen & Delancey opened in late 2007, opening up the barren restaurant territory in the neighborhood marked by the restaurants name. It was a bold move, for while the latin fusion restaurant called Rayuela opened a few weeks earlier up the street, the lower east side, and in particular, the east side of Allen Street was starved for signs of life after 5:00 pm. For a first-time chef and his investors, the placement of this ambitious restaurant was a bit of a gamble. statue of liberty graphic

 

 

So far, the gamble appears to be paying off as Allen & Delancey has been rewarded with great reviews. The lower east side is one of Manhattan's up and coming destinations for really good restaurants and interesting nightlife.

Put the lower east side on your list of places to see on some beautiful spring day. Enjoy a sweet cupcake at Sugar Sweet Sunshine and an old time Mary Jane candybar at Economy Candy.

Did you know?

August 2008 - Did you know that the Broadway musical, "West Side Story" was originally set on the Lower East Side. Yes, it's true. The composers intended to write a musical based on the themes of Romeo and Juliet but featuring tensions in this New York City neighborhood between Catholics and Jews. It was to take place between Passover and Easter. The composers felt no inspiration from this setting and the project went nowhere. Arthur Laurents stepped in and suggested the setting change from religious to racial tension and a move to the upper west side and 'West Side Story' took shape.

August 2008 - The hotelier who is going to open the new Thompson LES Hotel, Jason Pomeranc was quoted this week as saying this of the day his hotel opens: "going to be a moment in time that will be remembered as kind of when the Lower East Side came of age." Tell that to the folks at the Mercury Lounge, Katz' Deli and WD50, all of whom might beg to differ!

July 2008 - The new Thompson LES Hotel missed its July 15 deadline to open on Allen Street on the Lower East Side. Around the corner from Stanton Street, the hotel promises a rooftop pool with an Andy Warhol mural in mosaic on the pool floor. Andy would have been so proud. Will we finally get to see Moby in swim trunks hanging out here on the roof?
