East Village Happy Hour

Spontaneous week night outings are one of my favorite things to do. The East Village isnt an area of the city that I can say I love, but I know many people do adore it. I was talking with a friend, explaining that I should venture into the east village more often since there are a TON of good restaurants in the area.

My friend started telling me about some of her favorite restaurants in the East Village, one being Yuca Bar. Every Tuesday at Yuca is "Loco Tuesday" Until 8pm, you can take advantage of drink specials that are only $6 and half price Tapas. The drinks are very strong as well- I could barely drink my margarita! 

We got an array of amazing tapas, I had a mojito, and we also ordered a pitcher of white sangria. This may be my new Tuesday night activity.

Iconic New York: Bowery Hotel

The Bowery Hotel maybe relatively new, but it has made quite the impact in the short time that it has been open. This trendy downtown hotel is quickly becoming the new "it" hotel to stay at and hang out for celebrities. The hotel is characterized by its old world styled lobby and dark wood that are juxtaposed with the floor-to-cieling windows and more modern decor of the guest rooms. Conde Nast Travel, including the hotel on their hot list, described it as "the classic new york experience, timeless and sophisticated."

One fun amenity that the hotel offers is complimentary bicycles. (Helmets and locks included!). There isnt a better way to get around the East Village and sightsee than on a bike. Their Italian restaurant "Gemma" is supposed to be very good- always packed, although it looks like it gets a little sceney.

Jennifer Lopez and Demi Moore both hosted birthday parties for their respective men, so who knows who you might run into.

Doubles run between $525-$575 a night.
