Mosey down this delightful nook of the East Village, located between 7th and 9th street, running from Ave. A to 3rd.

 

To-Do List:

1. Yoga to the People

-FREE yoga! Now that’s a word us college kids like to hear. Classes fill up fast, so arrive 20 minutes ahead of time to secure your spot and get your lotus on.

Note: This class is no joke. Be prepared to work.

2. Eat Cheap

-Snag a $1 slice at 2 Bros. Pizza or a falafel at Mamouns for only $2.95. Visit the Dumpling Man for under $5, the Baoguette Café for around $7, and the Kebab Garden for less than $10.

3. Dig for Hidden Gems

-This street is lined with hole-in-the-wall shops and vendors (haggling permitted). From stunner shades to shady looking…ahem...paraphernalia, you can find it all right here. Check out what I bought.

4. Be Creeptastic

-Get inspired by the stylish passerby (it’s an Urban Outfitters kinda crowd).

Note: Bring your A game when struttin’ down St. Marks. The natives may seem nonchalant, but don’t think they can’t recognize a sad outfit when they see one.

5. Get Tatted Up

If you’re into that sorta thing. Every other shop offers to transform you into a piece of walking artwork.

 

Oh, and on your way out- go ahead and spin that giant cube. It's curiously satisfying.
