Khorador Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine with Lara Feldman, MS, L.Ac.

Acupuncture has long been a fixture in Lower East Side storefronts, where narrow facades belie the breadth of care inside. Khorador Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine with Lara Feldman, MS, L.Ac., occupies one such space at 82 E 3rd Street, a stretch better known for vintage boutiques than needles. The clinic offers traditional treatments like cupping, gua sha, herbal consultations, and moxibustion, alongside the expected acupuncture sessions. To schedule a visit, call (917) 974-7977—no referral required.

East Village side streets like this one often double as quiet corridors between busier avenues, and the address puts the practice within walking distance of both the Bowery and Tompkins Square Park. Patients arrive for everything from chronic pain management to stress relief, a mix that mirrors the neighborhood’s own blend of longtime residents and newer transplants. For directions, check the map; the storefront sits mid-block, its awning the only splash of color on an otherwise muted row.
