East Village

The East Village is known for its counterculture history, dive bars, and diverse dining scene. Tompkins Square Park, opened in 1834, has hosted dissent for nearly two centuries — a rally in support of the nationwide 1877 railroad strike drew some twenty thousand people to the park, and its 1966 bandshell became a stage for the neighborhood's later counterculture scene. That scene found a headquarters at CBGB, the club Hilly Kristal opened at 315 Bowery in 1973, which launched the Ramones, Blondie, and Talking Heads before closing in 2006.
