The East Village Apartments lie in the heart of East Village,
and are centrally located in Manhattan, New York City.
The East Village, adjacent to Greenwich Village, SoHo,
TriBeCa, Little Italy, Chinatown, and the newly trendy
Lower East Side, is a fashionable Bohemian quarter with
a colorful past and one of the more unique neighborhoods
in New York City.
The legendary street we know as The Bowery (a derivative
of the Dutch word for farm, bouwerij) was at one time a
Native American footpath. In its early years, it was home to
the Stuyvesants, the Astors and the Vanderbilts. They were
followed by the Beat, Hippie and Punk generations - each
leaving its unique imprint.
Now, inhabited by families, it is also home to New York
University and its students. Tompkins Square Park is the
main park in the East Village, offering a welcome respite
from city life. With its own trendy cafes, boutiques, and art galleries and
famously happening bar and club scene, which extends to
the Lower East Side, the East Village has a lot to offer. |
