Forget Greenpoint and Astoria. It’s all about the East Village right now. Packed with vintage stores, dive bars and extraordinary eateries, you could spend a lifetime here and never get bored. You’ll find this stylish apartment slap-bang in the middle of it all, as well as just an eight-minute walk from all major subway lines. Yes, it’s compact (expected given its location), but its stylish interior is decked out with 60s kinetic art and hand-picked furniture. The icing on the cake is the private outdoor space – rarer than a unicorn in Manhattan. Enjoy sundown cocktails at your own alfresco tiki bar before heading out for the night. You’re in for a treat – the East Village keeps the excitement going long after other neighbourhoods have hit the pillow.

The East Village is considered the birthplace of punk, and while the neighbourhood has undergone plenty of change since then, the area retains its gritty charm. Loaded with dives, grungy tattoo parlours, old-school record stores, vintage shops and tonnes of cool restaurants, and bars - it sort of feels like the West Village before it became gentrified. It has been home to countless artists and musicians over the years and...
