Y<\/span>es, yes. It\u2019s true, most of Manhattan\u2019s hippest neighborhoods<\/a> emerged from a period of bohemia, the arts, and diverse cultures. So you might be wondering what gives this downtown neighborhood, the birthplace of punk and indie rock, an edge over the rest?<\/h5>\n

No shortcuts, we\u2019re taking apart the East Village<\/strong>\u2019s anatomy to get a closer look.<\/p>\n

The soul of the neighborhood: Arts and Culture<\/h2>\n

We won\u2019t deny it, there\u2019s something really special about the East Village. It\u2019s provincial, warm and welcoming, and the result of an eventful past of rock \u2018n\u2019 rollers and artists sweetened by an influx of cultures<\/strong> from the world. Today, you\u2019ll find a younger demographic<\/strong> mostly students and young professionals gracing the stoops of its turn of the century walk-ups. Still,\u00a0the Village is very livable and particularly rentable: apartments in brand <\/strong><\/a>new residential buildings, co-ops and condos, especially the luxury spaces in Red Square<\/strong>, which is almost Moscow but not quite (kind of like the \u201c10th street baths<\/a><\/u>\u201d).<\/p>\n

Here we love to indulge in the arts along Bowery Street, <\/strong>to hear wise words at Nuyorican Poet\u2019s Cafe<\/strong>\u00a0or the modern arts at The Hole<\/strong>\u00a0or New Museum of Contemporary Art for relevant exhibitions, but also independent bookstores,\u00a0record shops, and movie theaters<\/strong>\u00a0like the Anthology Film Archives. It\u2019s no surprise that this was where Andy Warhol\u2019s original works were first debuted; a legacy continues, and one he would be very proud of.<\/p>\n

The heart of the neighborhood: St. Marks Place<\/h2>\n

Perhaps no street personifies\u00a0the life and times of the East Village better than St. Marks Place<\/strong>, A.K.A: \u201cAmerica\u2019s Hippest Street\u201d (F.Y.I., it\u2019s also one of its the noisiest). It\u2019s the street that has inspired musical groups like Led Zeppelin and the New York Dolls, where the phenom Hamilton begun at the Public Theater before taking off on Broadway<\/strong>, where a thrilling nightlife scene offers (hidden) after-hour stops, like the Prohibition-era speakeasies PDT\u00a0(code for Please Don\u2019t Tell) and Angel\u2019s Share behind an unmarked door in a Japanese restaurant; and we haven\u2019t even begun to mention its highly sought-after vintage boutiques<\/strong>. Since we\u2019re in the neighborhood, we must (truly, it is a must) follow in the footsteps of Patti Smith, and have an\u00a0order of \u201cegg cream\u201d from Gem Spa<\/strong>, which is not at all a place of leisure in fact, but a legendary newspaper stand and candy store that been the neighborhood\u2019s lifeline since the 1920s.<\/p>\n

The stomach of the neighborhood: International and Upscale<\/h2>\n

Like we said, culture is the neighborhood\u2019s strong point, but along with it comes spectacular, global cuisine. With a Little Tokyo, Little India, Little Ukraine, and so many other little restaurants that\u2019ll take you and your plate around the globe and back without ever leaving the Village. Above all, the neighborhood is king of late-night Asian eateries, <\/strong>with the\u00a0reputation of having the best in the city, especially at the Michelin-starred Momofuku Ko<\/strong>\u00a0of top-chef David Chang. And to continue this fine dining journey, it\u2019s Italian at Porchetta, Greek at Pylo, Latin American at Secara. But for a good old fashioned New England style meal, it\u2019s Luke\u2019s Lobster<\/strong>, very famous and very delicious.<\/p>\n

The lungs of the neighborhood: Tompkins Square Park<\/h2>\n

The only pure source of chlorophyll and fresh air in this niche neighborhood is a shared space of tranquility and leisure for inhabitants of the Village, located in its southern compartment of Alphabet City.<\/strong>\u00a0Children of the East Village already know that Tompkins Square Park<\/strong>\u00a0is magical grounds for meeting lifelong friends, especially its playground that is ideal for matchmaking. As for Bichon, he will meet his best buds in the park\u2019s<\/strong> dog run<\/strong>. And at the Charlie Parker Jazz Festival<\/strong>, the entire city is harmoniously brought together in August. But if you\u2019re not in the mood for chitchat, detach yourself from all else and stroll to 6BC Botanical Garden<\/strong>\u00a0on 6th Street for a tranquil escape into a wild garden between spring and fall.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll call the East Village home if \u2026<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Forever young, that\u2019s you<\/li>\n
  2. You have an international palette<\/li>\n
  3. To live like legends is your dream<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
