This makes even New York City to one of the world's most tents inhabited areas when the entire New York City and its five districts represent an area of 786 square kilometers.

New York City is divided into 5pcs different boroughs, Manhattan, Queens, Bronx, Brooklyn and Staten Island.
Brooklyn and Queens is the largest districts in terms of population and area, while Manhattan is the New York neighborhood that is most populous.

The East Village is technically part of the Lower East Side, but began developing its own identity in the 1970s when the traditionally immigrant neighborhood became a mecca for artists, musicians, students and writers. Since then, many of the neighborhood's residents are being priced out as the area gentrifies and rents rise. St. Mark's Place (East 8th Street), one of the neighborhood's most famous streets, is lined with bars, restaurants and shops and a popular strip for tourists to visit.
