St. Mark’s Place

Eighth Street in Manhattan between Third Avenue and Avenue A is known as St. Mark's Place—arguably the East Village’s most notable street and a place bursting with culture via its retail shops, street vendors, restaurants and nightlife. In a city that is gentrifying more and more every day, St. Mark's Place maintains its gritty and authentic feel. Some of the street’s most famous venues—Gem Spa, St. Mark's Hotel and St. Mark's Comics—are longstanding institutions that locals and longtime residents hope will be around for many years to come.
