Possibly one of the best places to start a night out in the East Village; traditionally known for its restaurants and small pubs, Bleecker street is a thriving hub for anyone and everyone. On a typical night out in the East Village you will meet tourists from all over the world, students, New Yorkers, businessmen, and possibly even some celebrities. A popular area for late-night outings, and a nice, filling, pre-outing meal, Bleecker is one of those streets that support the popular view that New York City never sleeps.

The ultimate hideaway for the seeker of eclectic shopping, Bleecker Street boasts an array of shops ranging from old records, touristy souvenirs, delicious cheese, spices, and even a Tibetan arts store. Its proximity to Washington Square Park on the East side makes it a college student hot spot for starting off the night. It boasts some of The City’s most delicious eateries. A trip to Bleecker Street in the winter would not be complete without a steaming, gooey, plate of risotto at The Risoteria!
