East Village

East Village

Punk rock history meets $2000 studio apartments. St. Marks Place isn't what it used to be (RIP), but you can still find plenty of cheap eats, dive bars, and vintage shops between the juice bars and chain stores. Tompkins Square Park is prime people-watching territory, and the pierogi spots on 1st Avenue are still going strong. Best neighborhood for bar hopping, hands down.
