For NYC dwellers, the East Village is probably most known for its bars, as it has the highest concentration of bars in the city. It is a young and hip area with a large college student population. With college students comes cheap eats. Streets like St. Mark’s, a holdover from punk days and still going strong, are lined with restaurants where one can have a complete, belly-patting meal for ten dollars (give or take a little). After a nice savory meal, comes the best part: dessert. The dessert bars of the East Village are the hidden secrets of the area.
