Speakeasys, dive bars, and excellent eats; you will never go thirsty or hungry in the East Village. Known as the birth place of punk rock, the East Village has a long history of being a gritty neighborhood.
The flood gates have since been opened and property developers have brought in many new luxury buildings, throwing a curveball to the predominately pre-war facaded streets. Luckily this change hasn’t uprooted too many of the establishments which make the East Village what it is. You will find endless amazing bars and restaurants on nearly every block.
