Very much in vogue in the nineteenth century, when they lived here the wealthy in New York, East Village was subsequently converted into a more common place for many decades. Has now been bourgeoisified. Some beautiful houses of the nineteenth century and the church of St Mark in Bowery can be admired in Stuyvesant Street. St Mark's place was the center of the Beat Generation, the plaza Cooper Square is so named for the Cooper Union Foundation Building, seven-storey building, founded in 1859 by Peter Cooper as a free school for the children of the workers, to give them the possibility of training that he had not been able to realize. The neighborhood has become a center of the counterculture in New York, and is known as the place of birth and the historic home of many artistic movements, such as the punk rock and the Nuyorican literary movement. East Village is still known by its diverse and vibrant community, its night life and the artistic sensibility, if he (yours) is to recall the ambience of the scene rock - punk they can visit the Manitoba's Bar (99 Avenue B, between the streets 6th and 7th), place of singer Richard “Handsome Dick“ better Manitoba known like the leader of The Dictators, who has remained inalterable almost four decades later. It has several things what to see like Nuyorican Poets Cafe.
