Back in December, we launched Old East Village as “London’s “Libation District.” From coffee, to juices, to craft brews and spirits, OEV has you covered this summer. Since we’re in the height of the season, a patio visit seems like a great way to spend a weekday evening or weekend afternoon. So, see below for all the places in the village you can relax, grab a cold (or warm!) drink, perhaps a bite to eat, and revel in all that summer has to offer!
OEV businesses have been working tirelessly to create safe and comfortable environments for customers to enjoy so remember to wear those masks (as applicable) and maintain physical distance!
