East Village Tours: The East Village Pub Crawl, Frank Sinatra Limo Tour The young and trendy flock to the East Village, and always have (beatniks in the fifties, hippies in the sixties, and punks in the seventies and eighties). The cutting-edge crowd has formed an interesting and exciting array of alternative clubs, experimental music and theatre, fashion stores, and tattoo parlors. What seems more like an open-air artistic bazaar than a street lined with apartments, St. Marks Place is a sort of "Santa Monica" of the east coast with t-shirt shops, CD stores, sidewalk shopping, and bars, though it has become more gentrified in recent years. But the real action in this area happens after the sun goes down: Non-descript doors hide some of the hippest places in the city; the sound of James Brown comes out of one bar while Celtic chanting comes from another. A great way to break in is to join a walking tour -- the hipsters of Alphabet City are a long way from the original Native Americans and Dutch settlers. In between, there's the history of the Yiddish Theater, the Beat generation, yippies, jazz, poetry, protests, and much more. Tours are offered every Tues.-Sun. at 11am; meet your guide at the intersection of 8th St., Lafayette St. & Fourth Aves. You can't miss the huge Astor Place "Cube" that's front and center. You'll find it difficult to spend $12 a better way. Call 646-810-2576 or log on to www.east-village.com. The south side of East Sixth Street between First & Second Aves., Little Bombay, features Indian eateries. Established in 1854, McSorley's Old Ale House is the city's oldest continuously operated saloon, and seems to have changed very little in the last 150+ years.
