East Village Personal Injury Attorney

Long known for its vintage stores, bookstores, cafés and bohemian style, the East Village runs south between East 14th and East Houston streets and east from the Bowery and Third Avenue to the East River.

Once a favorite of artists like Diane Arbus and writers like Allen Ginsberg, the East Village includes Thompkins Square Park and parts of John V. Lindsay East River Park, the Upright Citizens Brigade, St. Mark’s Place, the Nuyorican Poets Café and eateries like McSorley’s Old Ale House.
