The East Village has anything a person could desire, from expensive restaurants, to the best hot dog joint around (or so says Julia Child) along with various kinds of shops. Ranging from exuberant to very affordable, there are trendy high end boutiques to hip punk stores. Two of my favorite punk stores, Search and Destroy and Trash and Vaudeville, are on St. Mark's Place. Trash and Vaudeville in particular helped to make St. Mark's Place a destination point in which people could enjoy these unique stores. To this day the owner can be seen wearing the original punk punk style from decades ago. Down the street there is even a Bettie Page store, just in case you're ever interested in looking like a 1950’s pin-up girl. After a stroll through the shops, I went to get ice cream in which I came across one of the best names for an ice cream store, “Big Gay Ice Cream.” I recommend the “Salty Pimp” which is vanilla ice cream, dulce de leche, sea salt, and dipped in chocolate.
