A community of young and old, and various heritages, comprise the heart of East Village in New York City.The area that comprises this neighborhood runs from 14th street to Houston street and from avenue A to 4th avenue.As a result of the culture in the East Village, the varieties of food you will encounter are too many to count, but I can guarantee you'll find some favorite spots.
East 7th street between Avenue A and 1st Avenue is a great block if you are planning a full night of eating and drinking.First, start at Desnuda wine bar to have a glass of wine and some of their excellent ceviche.Then head over to Caracas Arepas Bar for some Venezuelan arepas.There are many things to try so you'll want to order a bunch and share them among your group of friends.Finally, finish off with cupcakes at Butter Lane or fondue at the Bourgeois Pig.
Head down around the NoHo, around Houston street, for some other great options.Bianca, Il Buco, Mercat, or BONDST are all great places in the area that you should check out.Once finished with dinner there are plenty of spots to grab an after-dinner drink like The Lobby Bar in the Bowery Hotel or Madame Geneva behind the Double Crown Restaurant.
This is just a small sample of the best East Village restaurants.Even if you decided to aimlessly walk around without having a plan, you'd probably find a great place on your own.I'm sure you will enjoy yourself wherever you end up.
