People Lounge is a low key lounge in the lower east side of Manhattan. People offers a much more varied menu than a lot of bars and lounges in New York. The menu offers a nice selection of appetizers and mid-range priced entrees. For those who might be curious how this establishment came to be called, "People" Lounge, here is the explanation from their website: statue of liberty graphic

The name PEOPLE was chosen to reflect the concept that the space should be secondary to the clientele that would occupy it. Eventually the thoughts developed and reality set in. After months of construction and planning, our doors opened in 2003. Since then, we have hosted parties and events ranging from birthdays, holiday parties, non-profit charities, TV shows, commercials, independent movies, video release parties, stand up comedy, music bands and much more. Almost 5 Years old now, we aim to continue in our ways…

Great gift idea: come and visit NYC, see the shop and have Jutta Neumann measure your feet and create a custom made pair of sandals she'll ship home!

You can choose from a large selection of styles and colors. Her designs are not for everyone, they are a little on the hippie style, but for the right person, it's a great gift idea to surprise someone when visiting New York City. And combined with a visit to Katz' Deli, you'll be a big hit!

Did you know?

October 2008 - Desires Hotel, a boutique chain of small hotels announces their plans to open the Hotel Ludlow next to the Darkroom bar on Ludlow Street on the Lower East Side in 2010. Its address will be approximately 167 Ludlow Street.

September 2008 - The NYC Landmarks & Preservation Committee has now designated two additional buildings East Village buildings as official landmarks of New York City. The buildings are north of the lower east side in Alphabet city in the east village. The buildings are the Wheatsworth Bakery and the Public National Bank. This brings to six the total number of Lower East Side buildings that have been designated as landmarks during 2008. Located at 444 E. 10th St. between avenues C and D, the Wheatsworth Bakery, completed in 1928, served as a cracker and flour manufacturer. The Milk Bone dog biscuit was invented and produced there. The seven-story brick building was designed by J. Edwin Hopkins and closed in 1957. It now serves as a public storage warehouse. The Public National Bank is situated at 106 Avenue C, at 7th Street.

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.
