May is LES History Month. Stop by the Garden, pick up some chalk and draw bits of neighborhood history and personal memories across Little Italy. Find LES Stories details here.

LES History Month is the annual celebration of the diverse and rich history of the Lower East Side — historically defined as including the East Village, Chinatown, Little Italy and Alphabet City. Conceived by LES-based arts and community groups, LES History Month aims to connect our present to our past, exploring how our history can inform and inspire our future.
