This tour weaves itself through the East Village, south from Veniero's Pasticceria on 11th Street and First Avenue to Tompkins Square Park.

Veniero's Pasticceria On 11th Street and 1st Avenue is Veniero's Pasticceria, established in 1894. An array of sweet treats is offered, from strawberry millefoglie to chocolate-covered cannoli.

Cinema Classics - A bit west, on the same side of the street, is Cinema Classics. This small complex contains a cool cafe, an underground video store and a movie theater that screens old and new classics. 11th Street Shops As you move westward, eclectic shops pepper 11th Street. Standouts include the fashionable Min-K, upscale, bargain rich Tokyo Joe and the hip and sophisticated Guava.

Urban Outfitters Looping left and southward onto Second Avenue lies trendy Urban Outfitters, supplying contemporary, club-kid-flavored clothing, goofy books and shiny new kitsch to the world.

Before turning left and eastward onto 10th Street, cross the street to behold a marvel, Second Avenue Deli, a bonanza of Jewish delicacies.

The Theater for a New City Foundation Founded in 1970, The Theater for a New City Foundation is a sprawling complex that appears perpetually under construction. It presents 30 to 40 plays a year by new artists and playwrights, with tickets at a bargain $5 to $10.

Enter 9th Street westward and see shop after shop, most of which do not open before 2pm. Check out witchcraft, candles, incense, books, music and magic at Enchantments. Or, if beautiful handicrafts are more your speed, stop by Clayworks Pottery.

St. Marks Place Walk southward two blocks to 7th Street and turn left (eastward). This street has exploded with alternative clothing shops in recent years. Now, head northward to the carnival atmosphere of St. Marks Place and turn eastward. If you are hungry, stop by the always fun Yaffa Cafe. At the end of this lively street is the respite of Tompkins Square Park.
