'''Lower Easton''' is a neighbourhood seven blocks and a half wide in [[Algonquin]], [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]], bordering [[Easton]] and [[Presidents City]] to the north by Garnet St, [[Chinatown, Algonquin|Chinatown]] and [[Fishmarket South]] to the south by Emerald St, [[Little Italy]] and [[Suffolk]] to the west by Columbus Ave and [[Fishmarket North]] to the east by Borlock Rd.

Few areas of interest may be noted in the district, aside from the [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|LCPD]] headquarters located in both Lower Easton and neighboring [[Fishmarket North]], being based on [[wp:One Police Plaza|One Police Plaza]] (NYPD headquarters), albiet significantly scaled down. While utilized in real-life as New York City's police headquarters, it remains to be seen if it is meant to serve the same function for the LCPD in the game. Interestingly, a [[Rusty Brown's Ring Donuts]] shop in is located just south from the station, across Feldpar Street, where police officers can be seen loitering outside. The building housing the donut shop even features a banner promoting a "Special Police Menu".

Lower Easton is most likely a take on the [[wp:Lower East Side|Lower East Side]] in New York City, because the buildings in the area being mostly old tenements. And there are also some jewish-themed stores in the area, hinting at how Lower East Side was once the jewish ghetto in New York.

As is most lower east side Algonquin districts, Lower Easton has no direct connection to [[Subway in GTA IV|subway lines]] in the city. The closest stations are situated in neighboring districts: [[Emerald LTA]] in Suffolk and Little Italy (the closest to the district), and [[Easton LTA]] in Easton.
