"The new Bowery"
1st St starts at Bowery. I lived right here when I first moved to the city. It's a pretty cool street and you're surrounded by anything you could possibly want to do. The very famous Mars Bar is right here and it is pretty unreal. It's one of the remaining establishments from the glory days of the Bowery -- i.e. when it was more of a giant crack den than an actual neighborhood. That place is scary during the day -- but, if you dare, it is pretty interesting. I love that it's next door to an insanely expensive luxury apartment building. A little way east is a little restaurant called Prune that is outstanding for brunch. It's got an eclectic crowd and great food. And, there's a tiny park right at the corner that has a Veselka stand! Veselka is a great Ukrainian restaurant and they have a smaller version of their menu for some al fresco peirogi eating.
