The '''East Village''' is a neighborhood on the [[East Side (Manhattan)|East Side]] of [[Lower Manhattan]] in [[New York City]], New York. It is roughly defined as the area east of the [[Bowery]] and [[Third Avenue]], between [[14th Street (Manhattan)|14th Street]] on the north and [[Houston Street (Manhattan)|Houston Street]] on the south.<ref name="EV">{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1995/01/01/nyregion/fyi-649895.html |title=F.Y.I.: East Village History |first=Jesse |last=McKinley |work=The New York Times |issn=0362-4331 |date=June 1, 1995 |access-date=August 26, 2008}}</ref> The East Village contains three subsections: [[Alphabet City, Manhattan|Alphabet City]], in reference to the single-letter-named avenues that are located to the east of [[First Avenue (Manhattan)|First Avenue]]; [[Ukrainian Americans in New York City#Little Ukraine|Little Ukraine]], near [[Second Avenue (Manhattan)|Second Avenue]] and 6th and 7th Streets; and the [[Bowery]], located around the street of the same name.

Initially the location of the present-day East Village was occupied by the [[Lenape]] Native people, and was then divided into plantations by Dutch settlers. During the early 19th century, the East Village contained many of the city's most opulent estates. By the middle of the century, it grew to include a large immigrant population{{snd}}including what was once referred to as [[Manhattan]]'s [[Little Germany, Manhattan|Little Germany]]{{snd}}and was considered part of the nearby [[Lower East Side]]. By the late 1960s, many artists, musicians, students and [[hippie]]s began to move into the area, and the East Village was given its own identity. Since at least the 2000s, [[gentrification]] has changed the character of the neighborhood.<ref name="Kugel">{{cite news |last=Kugel |first=Seth |url=http://travel.nytimes.com/2007/09/16/travel/16weekend.html |title=An 80-Block Slice of City Life |work=The New York Times |issn=0362-4331 |date=September 19, 2007}}</ref>
