East Village apartment with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby

My apartment is in a great location - near all the bars and restaurants in the East Village, and on a quiet street. There are zero amenities (the buzzer doesn't even work), but I knew that I was paying for the location, which is a short walk from NYU Stern. The only regret that I have is that I wish I would have broaden my search by considering which subway lines would make it easy to get around the city and staying close to any stop as opposed to worry about walking distance as much.

Reviewed by NYU Stern Student living at 632 East 11th St
Alphabet City is great. It's quiet, safe, close to a few great parks, and has every type of good food under the sun within minutes, walking distance. The only complaints are that it's about a 30 minute walk to KMC and the subway options are limited.
Reviewed by Andrew Y living at 635 east ninth street
Pros: Fun area. Lots of great bars and restaurants. Tompkins square park is nearby and the area has lots of small gardens. Reasonable price compared to the rest of Manhattan.

Cons: Small, old building. Heat and hot water problems are normal, as are cockroaches and mice. Nearest subways are about 10 minutes away.
Reviewed by NYU Stern MBA Student living at The Robyn
Awesome neighborhood with great restaurants. Pretty far east, but still only a 20 minute walk to Stern. 15 minutes to the F.
Reviewed by NYU Stern MBA Student living at 531 East 12th Street
Good mixture of bars, restaurants, and residential buildings and close enough to school to walk!

It's an ideal neighborhood to live in if you're going to NYU Stern.
Reviewed by NYU Stern MBA Student living at The Deco East
Getting towards the shadier part of the East Village, but I've never felt in danger. Google "East Village" and everything you read is probably true. Great nightlife, loud, and affordable depending on where you decide to stop in.
Reviewed by NYU Stern MBA Student living at 170 E 3rd St
Fun, great bars and restaurants, not easiest access to subway, but still manageable. Has a decent amount of supermarkets, both high end and economical. Walking distance from NYU.
