Weekends, as glorious as they are, are fleeting. You head home on Friday, energetic and full of enthusiasm, and before you know it … it’s Sunday evening. The work week is looming just over the horizon. The key is to grab the weekend by the horns and bend it to your will, to squeeze every last moment of enjoyment out of it, and, to put it plainly, live it up. Fortunately for residents of the East Village apartments at EVGB, living it up doesn’t even require leaving the building. It is only necessary to go up — as in upstairs to the roof.

Pumpkin spice may be the most recognizable aroma and flavor of fall, but it’s not the only one.

One of the most comforting ways to bring these wonderful seasonal smells into your East Village apartments at EVGB is also among the simplest: lighting a candle. The next time you’re out in the neighborhood and the fall spirit strikes, stop by one of these luxury candlemakers and treat yourself.

For many New Yorkers, there are no sweeter summertime sights than condensation gathering on a foamy pint of craft beer, the tantalizing rim of salt on a frosty margarita, or the soft glow of a glass of rosé. But as warm summer nights give way to the brisk, blue evenings of fall, a craving emerges for something smoky, strong, and warming: whiskey. On the rocks, straight up in a cherry-red Manhattan, or steaming in a lemony hot toddy — this golden spirit is a timeless favorite for anyone ducking into a neighborhood bar with rosy cheeks and eyes watering from the cold. Whiskey aficionados won’t want to miss the city’s premier whiskey tasting event: Whiskey Washback. Held at the Bowery Hotel, just a quick jaunt from the East Village apartments at EVGB, this “celebration of the remarkable and rebellious legacy of whiskey and the people that keep it alive today” takes place on Oct. 25 from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. and promises tastings of 75 kinds of top-shelf whiskey, scotch, bourbon, rye, and more.

At the East Village’s Greatest Building, EVGB isn’t just an acronym — but a simple statement of fact. Take, for example, the Smoothie Cycle Hour hosted recently by the building’s staff for residents, which not only brought residents together (something all too rare in many New York City condo buildings) but also provided a fun and healthy (if slightly boozy) activity.

From the quartz countertops in the kitchen to the perfectly manicured private outdoor spaces, living in one of the East Village luxury apartments at EVGB is a true style upgrade to your life. Maybe it’s because these East Village luxury rentals are located at the epicenter of Downtown chic, where you can still feel the artistic vibe when you walk through a neighborhood that was a touchstone in the lives of artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Debbie Harry, and Madonna.

When Ilhan Ersahin opened Nublu Classic in the East Village, he wanted to create a space that would be more than just a music venue — he wanted to make a space where music would be created. With both Nublu Classic and a later edition, Nublu 151, he has done just that. Heading to Nublu almost any night of the week means discovering not only new performers, but new music that might not even have existed if not for the creative incubation the space has become famous for. This is a place where Norah Jones frequently played during her ascent to stardom, and where bands like Brazilian Girls, Forró in the Dark, Love Trio, and Wax Poetic came into being, which is why New York Latin Culture Magazine writes that the space has “spawned a number of bands and its own unique Nublu sound.”
