Deal pending..... Once home to Miguel Algarín, founder of the legendary Nuyorican Poets Café, this enchanting apartment is rich with history and quintessential East Village character. Soaring 10-foot original tin ceilings crown the space, while two glorious oversized arched windows flood the home with natural light. The living room and bedroom area feature original parquet floors, and heavy custom wood shutters add warmth and authenticity.

Currently configured as a junior one-bedroom, the alcove provides a cozy cocoon for restful nights and features a charming home office nook or the perfect spot for a statement piece.

The kitchen is generously sized, and the bathroom-positioned at the rear of the apartment-enjoys incredible southern light all day long, with serene views overlooking the coops private lush, English-style garden. The home is move-in ready in its fantastical, artist-inspired state, or ripe for reimagining into your dream East Village retreat.

East Village | Manhattan

Quick Profile

The East Village has two distinct moods. By day, it is quiet and peaceful. Everyone is out and about, either working or relaxing at Tompkins Square Park, strolling or jogging along the East River, or hanging out in one of the subsets of cultural activity, such as St. Mark’s Place. 

But then night falls, and the East Village comes to life, keeping the entertainment and nightlife going long after the other neighborhoods have called it quits for the night. People from all five boroughs flock to the dive bars and speakeasies, head for their favorite cafes and restaurants, or drop in to a music venue to listen to hot tunes or cool jazz and dance the night away. Don’t worry, you don’t have to “know somebody” to gain admittance to even the most popular venues. You won’t find velvet ropes, bouncers, or and a waiting list at the door of most places. Just walk right in and enjoy yourself.

Be prepared for the increased population during fall through spring, when NYU is in session. College students will be everywhere, contributing to the youthful essense of the neighborhood.
