The place is as described and at a fantastic location, away from the crowd of downtown yet in close proximity to basically everywhere that is by subway but also by walking if you enjoy taking strolls around the city and the weather permits. East Village has this great neighborhood feeling with plenty to eat, shops of different kinds. Even to wander around the area was very pleasant. If you have a hard time deciding between the immense variety of options to eat, I suggest you just follow Nitin's carefully crafted guide. My girlfriend and I have tried a few of the places and all were really good. Nitin has been in contact even when in Guatemala and his neighbor Pat's also always been around whenever we needed to ask something. So we strongly recommend the place. Enjoy your stay!
