Most people love New York because of its bustle and excitement. However, there are many places to consider in the area, and you may not know which ones will fit your lifestyle and needs the best. Finding a West Village apartment could be the best choice for you since there are many recreational activities, shopping, retail, fitness and eateries to consider.
Cafes/Food
It can be helpful to find out what is near to the home before making a decision to rent or buy it. Without such, you could wind up traveling long distances to get done what is necessary. If you prefer to go to a bakery or café in the mornings, you’ll note that there are many options within walking distance or traveling by public transportation. The 11th Street Café is nearby, as well as The Elk, Sweet Corner Bakeshop and others. The farther away you go, you’ll have access to the Magnolia Bakery, Chalait, and the Dominique Ansel Kitchen, among others.
Restaurants abound in the area, and can include the Malatesta Trattoria, John’s Pizza, RedFarm and Wallse. The farther away you travel, the more options you have, including Rosemary’s Sushi Nakazawa, The Little Owl and more.
Nightlife
When you want a delicious cocktail or other alcoholic beverage, you’ll notice that there are a few spots that are exciting and interesting. These can include Employees Only, The Rusty Knot, The Other Room and others. When you want something jazzy, consider heading over to Smalls Jazz or go to the Happiest Hour for some fun and excitement.
Shopping/Specialty
If you enjoy shopping, you’ll note that there are many options, including Castor & Pollux, Rag & Bone, Brunello Cucinelli, Burberry and others. Popular choices for those living in a West Village apartment can also include Odin, Ralph Lauren, Saturdays Surf NYC and others.
Groceries
It is also important to check and find out about grocery stores and markets that are nearby, so you can get healthy food to make when you don’t want to go out.
