East Village, the birthplace of American punk rock, has changed, but it remains a neighborhood of lovable misfits. Over the years Beat poets, Bohemian artists, and avant-garde filmmakers have all made their homes here, celebrating the area in stories, on canvas, and on-screen. Visitors can explore that heritage, as well as experience the neighborhood's vibrant dining and nightlife options.
The East Village is a neighborhood on the East Side of Lower Manhattan in New York City. It is roughly defined as the area east of the Bowery and Third Avenue, between 14th Street on the north and Houston Street on the south. The East Village contains three subsections: Alphabet City, , Little Ukraine, and the Bowery.
The East Village became a center of the counterculture in New York, and was the birthplace and historical home of many artistic movements, including punk rock and the Nuyorican literary movement. Multiple former Yiddish theaters were converted for use by Off-Broadway shows: for instance, the Public Theater at 66 Second Avenue became the Phyllis Anderson Theater.
