New York City : Video Tour of the East Village (Manhattan, NY)

Video host David Hill of New York Habitat ( http://www.nyhabitat.com ) takes you through the trendy East Village in New York City. This neighborhood is made for those who relish in diversity. Students and artists who attend New York University populate this area and you can experience an energetic atmosphere while visiting.

You can find time to relax with a drink or two at McSorley's Ale House, the oldest bar in Manhattan or enjoy making your way through St. Marks Place. This three-block street is filled with history, stores, bars and restaurants.

Plan your accommodation by searching New York Habitat's listed vacation rentals in New York ( http://www.nyhabitat.com/new-york-apartment/vacation ) and Bed & Breakfasts ( http://www.nyhabitat.com/new-york-apartment/bed-breakfast ).

The streets aren't made of gold -- they are made of food in the East Village. Get a taste of what the East Village has to offer, and I mean that literally. New York Food Tours let you experience great tasting cuisine as you walk through the area.

Roosevelt Drive and measuring at 57 acres (Montgomery Street to East 12th Street), you have all the space you need for what it is you like to do.

HOW MUCH IS THE RENT AROUND?

[NewYorkHabitat]

@DrAnchorActor Hello there! See our comment below (response to MrSwizzl3d), the rent depends on the type of several factors.

How come there are no birds in any of his videos.. not walking not flying.. I've always been told new York is cluttered with birds everywhere and they walk right up on people.. they God balls.. why do I never see birds in any of his videos?

[NewYorkHabitat]

@XHale4Christ Hey there! Thank you for your comment. There are birds in New York City but I don' t think that there are more than in any other big city :)

Tompkins square park was the site of protest against gentrification in the 1980s/90s. Today it has been reconstructed with a state of the art dog run. lol oh the irony.

[NewYorkHabitat]

@vajraloka1 Thanks! It sure changed a lot. It's impressive how fast it did actually. I was told that cabs used to refuse to go there 15 years ago. Now it's a pretty trendy place!

[vajraloka1]

@NewYorkHabitat --hey , well it was changiing of course,the gentrification process was starting.but all in all it was good, i never went down to ave's b,c, d etc (alphabet city).I would peer in to that area like a observer of a zoo, but stay out ! i think we paid 600 hundred or so for a one bedroom. i split it so not 100% sure. buit it was a good time for sure
