You know that super cool aunt you have, the one who left her small town at the age of 19 and traveled around the world before making it big in some creative field, buying a dilapidated house in Alphabet City in the early 1980s and fixing it up and, once you came of age, letting you bunk for free?
We don’t have an aunt like that either, sadly. After touring East Village Bed & Coffee and hearing stories about its innkeeper, Anne Edris, we at least now know where the trailblazer of an aunt we never had would have set up shop.
The ethos is communal, funky, and friendly. There are bikes, umbrellas, and museum passes on offer, all free for guests. The 11 rooms are ragtag. There are framed flyers advertising music shows of days past, the odd IKEA bit, a massive wall turned over to a floor-to-ceiling collage, and multiple representations of the New York subway system. Ground-floor rooms feel like a loft space; upper floors feel like more typical East Village housing.
There are friendly dogs on offer, too. Rates are cheap, staff is friendly, and the neighborhood still sports plenty of raw corners. The spirit of Alphabet City lives on here, on Avenue C.

About the East Village Bed & Coffee neighborhood
The down and dirty East Village really isn't so down and dirty anymore. It used to be New York City's troubled teen—a hub for bad-boy rock-and-rollers and other rabble-rousers. But things took a turn in the late '80s and '90s: the homeless squatters were ousted from Tompkins Square Park, and the drug dealers were cleared from (most of) the street corners of Alphabet City—the area between avenues A and D.
Now it's all about NYU students, quirky shops, cheap food, raucous pubs, and sleek little bars. There's still a little edge left to the East Village. St. Marks Place, for example, has its share of freaks. Traces of the neighborhood's Ukrainian community remain, there's a cluster of back-to-back Indian restaurants, and quite a few eateries catering to Japanese expats.
History buffs should check out McSorley's, New York's oldest pub, and Cooper Union, the design college where Abraham Lincoln delivered an important anti-slavery speech in 1860.
