During my junior and senior years at NYU, I lived in a three-bedroom, third-floor walkup apartment on St. Mark’s Place in the East Village. There was always something to do, somewhere to go, and something to see. 

I lived around the corner from longstanding establishments like Veselka and McSorley’s, with speakeasy bars, ramen shops, creperies, and Korean BBQ just a few blocks away. I’m also a big fan of craft beer, so living near places such as Good Beer, Jimmy’s No. 43, The Hop Devil, and Zum Schneider (among many others) was fantastic.
