The whole environment looks cozy. The food looks so good. I love Sienfeld, lol. But, nine dollars a beer in that swanky hotel. A six pack would cost 54 dollars! LOL. I liked the smaller dive bar with more reasonable prices 😊
I used to live in the East Village in the 80s, my favorite place was Vasic Hall, but we just called it 7B, because it was the recorder of seventh Street and Avenue B. We used to pay $6 for A beer, that was the place most of us lounge lizards would hang out. Until about 3:30 AM and then we would go down to an after hours bar called “Save the Robots.“ it was mainly in the basement and fire trap If ever there was one. We would stagger out of there about seven or eight and then go to work
dprite1 I always hear that the east village in the 80’s was a fun place. People always have great interesting and funny stories about that specific neighborhood.
EV born and raised here. I find myself commenting on several of your NYC videos. It's funny to me because when I was a little kid it was just as much of a nightlife neighborhood, but it was a lot more dangerous. There were lots of hardcore punk rockers and heroin addicts. Record stores EVERYWHERE til the mid-late 2000s when they all started closing up shop. People got shanked all the time. Sometimes people wax nostalgic for that, but I'm happy it's a lot less dangerous. If I may make a few reccomendations, go further East and check out Avenue A! On 3rd and Avenue A is the very first 2 Boots Pizza, which has become quite a local chain. The best Eastern European diner in Manhattan is Odessa on 8th and A, ad it's open all night on the weekends. Finally, I'd recommend the Double Down Saloon on A and 2nd for some older fashioned dirty punk rock goodness. If Punk Rock isn't your thing, the DD Saloon is across the street from The Library. The Library is, of course, another bar. Anyway, loving the videos! Continue enjoying my hometown!
NYC has so much to offer. The Village and in this case the East Village has more than enough to keep someone entertained. Great video, I really like these NYC videos.
I used to live in the East Village back in 1993. It always had great Eastern European food. If you want to experience the NYC of the '90s, move to Portland, OR. It's a lot cheaper here, and really cool.
...wow thanks for the heads up! I lived in the Village in the early 80's. 5 floor walkup railroad flat at MacDougal and Bleecker with tub in the kitchen and toilet in the hall, was $825 in 1983 😂 Would be nice to visit the Village of old (or a reasonable facsimile thereof haha)
$2 for a beer in Manhattan? Hard to believe. The most expensive I've ever had was in a comedy club on UES. $11 a bottle (plus tax and tip). So even that $9 one doesn't seem too steep.
Damn, that's nostalgic. I know that place well (my Mom is a Ukrainian immigrant). The Church you pointed out actually also has a school associated with it and I used to go there.
I went to that church at the beginning of the episode. That was the church I went to every sunday when I lived there before my family moved to NJ. This really takes me back
A crazy awesome rocker shop in the East Village is Search and Destroy. They don't really let you take pictures but it's like walking through a museum inside a thrift shop.
Nice! Good to see the “little” places in Manhattan where normal people live and socialize. We lived in the area years ago and had a fun time rediscovering Chinatown/Little Italy - which apparently had moved (!) since we ran there in the early 1980s. So different yet so much the same as always, and always with the emphasis on what is cool.
Great video! Flying out to NYC in two days and staying in the lower east side for a couple of days, so very helpful! As are your other videos. Keep up the good work!
As a traveler to NYC, i've never really got into the night life in Manhattan because I wasn't sure where to go that wasn't a tourist trap. I usually go to McSorley's so after seeing this video I think my next visit i'll give some of these night life places a try. Thanks!
I LOVE the places with live music. Reminds me of the old Greenwich Village days. Seems the East Village has really changed, for the better. Great vlog, great information.
This was a great video with some good content about East Village but I can't get over the Borscht. I had never even heard of it before but we found a recipe online and are going to make it for dinner tonight. Thanks for the inspiration to try something new.
@@HereBeBarr and Weekday Warriors, Don't forget to put a dollop of fresh sour cream in the borscht before taking that first tasty slurp! You too, John. That way you are really eating borscht Ukrainian style.
Stayed in airBNB w some friends in east village over the 4th July weekend, Tried to go to mr purple n there were about 50 peeps outside Lol first time In NYC What a city!❗️❕
Hit Rockwood a few visits back. The singer said, there are two times you play Rockwood. Once on your way up and once on your way down. It's nice to be at Rockwood again. (LOL)
The East Village is the neighborhood that I've spent the most time in, and the block of East 7th between 1st & Ave A is one of the prettiest streets in the city that I've seen.
Man i love your videos. I was in nyc two times before and in march im comming for the third, and i always feel like a tourist and i want some local info, be blend with real new yorkers and i found your channel and now i feel like this is the one, this is the real nyc
Nice video. For a peek back into the evolution of the EV, check out Manhattan's East Village-Three Decades of Madness. The book chronicles the 60, 70s, and 80s.
Nice 👍video, thanks for sharing. I haven’t been in the East Village for years & it looks like it’s gotten even better than yrs ago. I will definitely check it out. Take care. 👍🌃
this is going to be good for me when i travel there mr jon :D #teamadriana - my fav is rockwood music hall..always love bars with acoustic singers, just has this jazz calm vibes! :D new york that is too..
I was joking with Steve that we could have made 100 versions of this video with all the Amazing places to go, but I wanted him to personalize it to what he liked. Thanks for the tip.
Steve is a cutie! Fantastic content also! I hope to move to NYC by the end of the year, so all of these videos are super helpful and seem to help solidify my desire for living there. Keep up the great work!
Check this out... "New York City's most suburban borough, Staten Island, is also its richest, with a median household income of $70,295." This is nuts, because in Portland, OR, the current household income is also around $70k. Yet the rent here is closer to $1,350 for a 1BR/1BA. That's why I tell my NYC friends to move to the Pacific Northwest. It's really green and beautiful here, and almost no mosquitoes. In the summer, you can swim on the coast, then ski in the mountains, all in the same day. The food scene is nothing to sneeze at. Oh, lots of NYU alumni in Portland, since here, they can actually afford to enjoy life, and still make rent and student loan payments.
I love bars. This is a great video for bars. I actually didn't know how exactly to measure if it's a dive bar. I could use one, because I'm having my usual high stress day, where I feel like I'm shooting to the top, wondering if I'm Jackson Maine. What the heck!? My hunch is Acid Burn only shows up one time as a non-blonde in the movie Hackers because it, like Jonny Lee Miller, is totally European and it just seems American. Otherwise, it's always a blonde, and the real Zero Cool is more often than not something other than European: my feeling is the king of the world, and it ironically matches the trade baseball cap for crown lyric. But I'm not making any claims! I'm just trying to figure this out. I have a song and the beginnings of a video. Maybe someone can help me (these days, that's perhaps a subject worthy of people laughing.)
Jay Orazi might even be higher because my friend has an apartment nearby but it’s considered more of the east village and her studio is $2200 smh so insane. This is why so many stores in the area are closing so much. The retail space is too high as well as apartment rentals. I’ve came across coworkers who pay $1800 for a room, and have to share apartments. I’ve heard that some are rent control apartments and some are rent stable but it’s hard to come by. So you saying $3,000 isn’t far fetched at all.
..you can still go chill at the places, listen to bands, enjoy the restaurants and have a great time! I admit it took a while to feel at ease though. When I first got sober I remember feeling out of place at iHop lol! I would sometimes bring friends who didn't drink with me as well. Peace on your journey 🌻
A good video, but I would have liked to have seen more of the architecture of the East Village, a mention of the Indian restaurants on 5th (?), Cooper Union, and how in the world can you do a video on the East Village and not go to Tompkins Square?

Streecha looks awesome! Hole in the wall basement - definitely our kind of spot. Great choice!
I'm looking forward to finding some Streecha type spots with you guys in Jackson Heights, we just need a warmer night.

A few of them don't let you film, we went to another one it said NO VIDEO. We got lucky they were chill.
Here Be Barr yeah thats actually where we went after the video above Kenka.
"Barr None" this was a very informational video. My daughter moved to LES and I will share this video with her.
Take her to Streecha, I want to take my parents there.

It used to be a lot of dives, tattoo parlors and CBGBs. LOL! That was the 7o’s I was a newlywed and we went to CBGBs but wouldn’t go in.

Was like 6 or 7 $ i forgot !
