Located on the eastern fringes of the East Village, where the avenues are lettered (A, B, C, and D) rather than numbered, Alphabet City is considered a nominally more "edgy" corner of the larger neighborhood – though this "edginess" is but a faint residue of the neighborhood's reputation in the earlier decades. Today's Alphabet City is considerably cleaned up and safer… but still somewhat rebellious and bohemian. Many of the neighborhood's residents are young graduates who have recently moved to the city.

Historically just one part of a larger neighborhood – the Lower East Side – Alphabet City got its own identity after the Second World War – and especially after the housing projects East of Avenue D were completed between the late 1940s and early 1950s. Unfortunately, that identity was, at best, a mixed bag: by all accounts, thus constituted Alphabet City was a rough neighborhood, with the degree of roughness, poverty, and drug problems increasing eastward, seemingly in alphabetical order (a navigational-aide-cum-quip often heard in the late 80s and early 90s went as follows: "A is for Adventurous, B is for Brave, C is for Crazy, D is for Dead").
Those were the bad old days! However, as often happens with centrally-located marginal neighborhoods, things didn't stay all that bad forever. The area's dangers (real or perceived) translated to markedly lower rents: $600/mo studios were still common throughout the 90s, which brought hordes of artists and intellectual types who succeeded in driving out the drugdealers, muggers, and junkies – before being in turn driven out by the next generation of tenants, this time with day jobs, often in the financial sector. To be sure, the Avenue D "projects" are still there, hulking over the tenement-size buildings just to their west, but the crime rate on the adjacent blocks is nowhere near what it was three decades ago. Alas, neither are the rents.
