The East Village, bordered by Stuyvesant Town, Greenwich Village, Gramercy and Lower East Side, is perhaps the one neighborhood in Manhattan with the most diverse community – Asian, Caucasian, Hispanic and African-American are almost of equal proportions in this area.
The E.V. is known for its role as the birthplace of many counter-culture movements in New York. The Tompkins Square Park Communist Rally in the 19th century and the more recent “Summer of Love” are a few examples of these counter-culture movements. This counterculture core is perhaps the main reason why the neighborhood drew so many musicians and artists into its embrace. Here, many famous British bands, such as Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, started their phenomenal musical career that took the world by storm.
This is also the birthplace of many musical genres familiar with us today, such as punk rock, anti-folk and hip-hop. However, the arts scene in the E.V. has since declined – the new center of performance and the arts is now generally agreed to be in Williamsburg in Brooklyn.
Nevertheless, the area is still an exciting place to be at – it holds a myriad of festivals year-round, such as the Mayday Festival and Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade.
