It gets cold in New York — no news flash there. But the frigid temperatures and snowy days are welcome, in a way, since they help to usher in the enchantment of the holiday season. It’s a beautiful time to be in the city. And that time is made exponentially more enjoyable when one has a wealth of winter-friendly activities available right in one’s own building. While there are other East Village luxury rentals that offer an array of impressive amenities, one would be hard-pressed to find a building that has the wintertime covered for its tenants as perfectly as EVGB.
The secret to giving the perfect gift is finding something unique and personal enough to make a lasting impression. Fortunately, living in the East Village apartments at EVGB means you’re at the center of a shopping mecca defined by its innovative small business owners who have turned their shops into expressions of their own creative visions. At East Village favorites like Lori McLean, Still House, and Duo NYC, you will find clothes, objects for the home, sculptural kitchenware, and rare books unlike anything available at a chain store or name brand. These are presents that are completely personal, completely creative, and completely East Village. The challenge won’t be finding great presents, but choosing among a dazzling variety of options, and resisting the urge — or not! — to get two of everything; one to give and another to keep to put the finishing touches on your own East Village luxury rental.
The East Village has a look and feel that has been cultivated for years by artistic and innovative New Yorkers pursuing their visions. Their common denominator?

Make it truly your own.

It’s a common dinner party phenomenon: No matter how spacious the living room or how sumptuous the upholstery therein, your guests will always gravitate toward the kitchen. Maybe they came to see if they could lend a hand, refill a drink, or steal a piece of cheese from the plate you’re preparing. Either way, the sight of guests squeezing into a cramped kitchen, drink in hand, is such a familiar scene that there are plenty of tips to be found online for tactfully shooing them out. But when you have an open-style, epicurean kitchen like the ones inside EVGB’s East Village apartments, you can welcome your guests in. There’s plenty of room for friends to gather and chat while dinner simmers.
