The Niko defines modern downtown living. It is perfectly situated for those looking to take advantage of all the East Village has to offer: trend-setting restaurants and cafes, world-famous nightlife and an impressive art scene. You can get your morning fill at Ninth Street Espresso, try Casa Adela’s famous Puerto Rican cuisine, celebrate Oktoberfest at Zum Schneider and hear a jazz show at Nublu all without leaving nearby Avenue C. A visit to the New Museum or a show at Irving Plaza is a quick Citi Bike ride away.

East River Park, with its waterfront bike and running paths, basketball, soccer and baseball fields, and playgrounds, is just a block away. Enjoy river views along the East River Promenade, or play chess, join a basketball game or take your dog to the dog run at Tompkins Square Park. The famous East Village community gardens populate almost every block, making it easy to decompress from the hum of the city.

The area enjoys access to the L train to the north and F, M, J and Z trains to the south, numerous bus lines and Citi Bike docks. The FDR is also easily accessible nearby.
