The East Village used to be kind of down-market and full of artists, musicians, etc. Actually, it used to be considered part of the Lower East Side. Property developers started calling it the 'East Village' to make it seem more desirable. Anyway, it's now kind of become a bit like Camden Town. Used to be cool, now full of counter-culture 'tourists,' punks that can't seem to get over the fact that punk died a long time ago, people wearing Doc Martens, etc.
