In my next life I want to live in the East Village. Preferably between the ages of 17-24, before I move back to my wealthy family home in Croatia, and eventually settling down in the outskirts of Hell’s Kitchen or Upper West Side as a commercial pilot that flies to Italy every other time. Its in the contract! I will retire early again, giving food tours in Puglia, and on occasion visit my three daughters, all living in the East Village. One of them is called Tamar (inside joke)
But until then, I will enjoy the area as a frequent visitor. The food drew me at first, way before I started exploring it as a registered tour guide. But I quickly realized there’s a lot more to it than food. There’s a level of quirkiness not seen anywhere. There’s a store on St Marks entirely devoted to Marshmallows! So last October it took me and my big boy camera three visits to take pictures of all the art I could find. These are just some of the results…

Looks fantastic, can’t wait for the guided tour in November 🙂
