Best Shopping District
East Village Arts District
One could say the East Village Arts District has undergone a renaissance of sorts. At first, the City-designated district wasn’t so artsy—or in the least, it felt forced for many. And then the locals came in. For the fashionistas, there’s The Academy, ELEV8, and Downtown Darling. For the audiophile, there’s Fingerprints, Bagatelle Records and Durty Mick’s, as well as BuskerFest and SoundWalk annually. For the foodie, there’s Asha, Rocco’s, and Creme de la Crepe, and the Taste of Downtown. For you, there’s you. Go check it out. And while you’re at it, play some tetherball across the street from Berlin in Park[d] Plaza.
