Newly revitalized, the Essex Street Market was in grave danger of succumbing to lack of interest in the 1980s. The renovated residences around the area have once again made this open air market a popular spot for residents of the Lower East Side to come and browse the diverse range of goods. Founded 70 years ago in an effort to get the pushcart peddlers off the streets, the market was long the shopping center of the neighborhood.
