East Village
World-class gastronomy and hip nightlife
Global cuisine includes Ukrainian pierogies and borscht at Veselka (a cozy, James Beard-nominee diner), Indian spots on 6th Street, Moroccan-inspired cuisine at Cafe Mogador, and Asian fusion along St. Marks Place. It’s a decent neighborhood for bar-hopping, despite the somewhat raucous, 20-something party scene on the weekends, with long-standing dives like International Bar, old school Irish pubs like McSorley’s, and high-end cocktail bars like Amor y Amargo. While gentrification coupled with the pandemic has led to the closure of many beloved spots over the years, there’s still a heady mix of nightlife options, from speakeasy-style lounges to clubs with live music.Everything from modest co-ops and new luxury condos like Steiner East Village
There’s currently a number of renovated prewar co-ops and luxury condos: “It used to be primarily rentals, but it’s become much fancier in the last 5–10 years,” says Lippman. One to three-bedroom condos in mid-to-high-rise buildings typically range between $1.3 million to $3 million, as well as in newer builds, like the boutique condominium designed by acclaimed architect Morris Adjmi at 45 East 7th Street and the glass-clad condo conversion at Steiner East Village. Co-ops can start as low as $400,000 for a snug studio or around $600,000 for a prewar one-bed walkup, but can easily rise to over $1 million for renovated apartments and lofts.A myriad of vintage shops, local markets, and big-box grocery stores
Given its hipster vibes and bohemian roots, it’s no surprise to find a ton of vintage and secondhand shops, as well as trendy (read: somewhat pricey) boutiques and specialty shops. Strand bookstore is further west on 12th Street and there are bodegas and small, locally-owned markets and grocers between First and Third avenues. Le Fournil, a French bakery known for their fresh bread and croissants is also a local favorite. There’s also a Trader Joe’s on 14th Street, an H Mart, and a new Wegmans at Astor Place.Historical venues, farmer’s markets, and art events
Cultural holdouts for film and theater include the Village East by Angelika, a 20th century movie theater designed in Moorish Revival style, AMC theaters, and the Anthology Film Archives. Each weekend, locals can find farmers markets to the north in Union Square Park and east in Tompkins Square Park.Plenty of subway lines, but expect to walk or take the bus between avenues
East Village has multiple subway options: The F at Second Avenue, the L train along 14th Street, the 6 at Astor Place and the hub at Union Square. FDR Drive is also nearby for easy access to connecting boroughs and the east side of Manhattan.A rated elementary schools nearby Cooper Union and NYU residential halls
PS 110 Florence Nightingale, a public elementary school, received an A rating and according to Niche, 85% of students are proficient in both math and reading. East Village Community School is another highly rated elementary school in the area, and East Side Community School, a public middle and high school, has a B+ rating on Niche. For private options, there’s Grace Church School, a top rated K-12 school, and Cooper Union, a prestigious arts & science-focused college.
