East Village, Manhattan
East Village is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Manhattan. Its boundary to the north is Gramercy Park and Stuyvesant Town, to the south by the Lower East Side, and to the east by the East River. Generally, although definitions vary on the neighborhood's exact street boundaries,〔Neighborhoods in New York City do not have official status, and their boundaries are not specifically set by the city. (There are a number of Community Boards, whose boundaries are officially set, but these are fairly large and generally contain a number of neighborhoods, and the (neighborhood map ) issued by the Department of City Planning only shows the largest ones.) Because of this, the definition of where neighborhoods begin and end is subject to a variety of forces, including the efforts of real estate concerns to promote certain areas, the use of neighborhood names in media news reports, and the everyday usage of people.〕 the East Village is considered to be the area east of Broadway to the East River, between 14th Street and Houston Street.〔(F.Y.I. ), "When did the East Village become the East Village and stop being part of the Lower East Side?", Jesse McKinley, ''The New York Times'', June 1, 1995; accessed August 26, 2008.〕
The area was once generally considered to be part of the Lower East Side, but began to develop its own identity and culture in the late 1960s, when many artists, musicians, students and hippies began to move into the area, attracted by cheap rents and the base of Beatniks who had lived there since the 1950s. The neighborhood has become a center of the counterculture in New York, and is known as the birthplace and historical home of many artistic movements, including punk rock〔(In Rocking East Village, The Beat Never Stops ), Karen Schoemer, ''The New York Times'', June 8, 1990.〕 and the Nuyorican literary movement.〔(Another Nuyorican Icon Fades ), Santiago Nieves, ''New York Latino Journal'', May 13, 2005.〕 It has also been the site of protests and riots.
East Village is still known for its diverse community, vibrant nightlife and artistic sensibility, although in recent decades it has been argued that gentrification has changed the character of the neighborhood.〔Kugel, Seth, ("An 80-Block Slice of City Life" ), ''The New York Times'', September 19, 2007.〕
