Those Easter Island Statues Aren't Just Heads, They Have Bodies That are Buried Underground
Sneaky hobbitses.
Actually, the term "Lower East Side" changed just a few decades ago. For my parents' generation, it included everything between 14th Street and Houston, as well as what is now/still included. It is only fairly recently (in city terms) that the north section of the Lower East Side between 14th St and Houston even started to call itself the "East Village." So if you are old-school, St. Marks Place *is* in the Lower East Side. I know folks in their 30s and 40s who still call it the Lower East Side.
The depiction of the moai in the movie "Night at the Museum" as only a head probably shares some of the blame.
