EAST VILLAGE
The East Village is a neighborhood on the East Side of Lower Manhattan in New York City, United States. It is roughly defined as the area east of the Bowery and Third Avenue, between 14th Street on the north and Houston Street on the south. East Village grew to include a large immigrant population—including what was once referred to as Manhattan's Little Germany—and was considered part of the nearby Lower East Side. By the late 1960s, many artists, musicians, students and hippies began to move into the area, and East Village was given its own identity. Since at least the 2000s, gentrification has changed the character of the neighborhood. Plenty of East Village has been gentrified, but landmark efforts are being made to preserve some of the townhouses and buildings. |

Brooklyn is a borough of New York City, coterminous with Kings County, located in the U.S. state of New York. It is the most populous county in the state, the second-most densely populated county in the United States, and New York City's most populous borough, with an estimated 2,648,403 residents in 2020.
In the first decades of the 21st century, Brooklyn has experienced a renaissance as an avant-garde destination for hipsters, with concomitant gentrification, dramatic house price increases and a decrease in housing affordability. Since the 2010s, Brooklyn has evolved into a thriving hub of entrepreneurship, high technology startup firms, postmodern art and design.
The borough continues, however, to maintain a distinct culture. Many Brooklyn neighborhoods are ethnic enclaves. Brooklyn's official motto, displayed on the Borough seal and flag, is Eendraght Maeckt Maght, which translates from early modern Dutch as "Unity makes strength". The Brooklyn accent has often been portrayed as the "typical New York accent" in American media, although this accent and stereotype are supposedly fading out.
Nineteen New York City Subway services, including the Franklin Avenue Shuttle, traverse the borough. There are 170 Stations in Brooklyn. The NYC Ferry also serves Brooklyn, and there is a daily express bus service from Brooklyn to Manhattan.

The Gilded Hand
Hywel Mckenna → Multiple → Hiring
Once a small hipster cocktail bar in DUMBO, Brooklyn, The Gilded Hand has expanded into a well known franchise within New York today. With iconic designs and branding based off old Alchemic symbols, the experimental cocktail bar is an experience to enjoy. You've probably seen it on instagram, but plenty of their cocktails include fire, smoke, and changing colours in iconic glasses. It' almost like being in a science experiment. Having expanded to three more locations, their original branch is still the most famous, but they are also located in East Village and the Upper West Side as well. If you come down to the Brooklyn branch, you'll sometimes see the owner, who treats old patrons as if friends. It's definitely the kind of bar you'd love to visit, especially if you're from out of town. STAFF: Hywel Mckenna (owner) Amberlee Howard (server) HIRING: front of house, bartenders, mixologists |

Cloak & Dagger
Randall Ellsworth → Brooklyn → Hiring
The old tavern-style dive bar has been handed down from generations. While it often seems empty, and not like the place most New Yorkers would go, it's well known to the hunters of the city. After all, Cloak and Dagger is named after a pair of hunters back in the France, the original two sent to hunt down the Beast of Gévaudan. After a few failed attempts, they were dismissed, but hunter legend has it that even after their funding was taken away, they continued to hunt the beast until it was slain by a hidden dagger and a bear trap. After they left France to America, they continued to do their good work here. It's a haven for the hunters, with cheap alcohol, a warm meal, and a tucked away location, so they can talk about their exploits in peace. All hunters who come here can seek room and board from the owner of the building, and the only rule is that if they're going to brawl, they do it outside.

Hanami Heart Tea Shop
Taiga Nakagawa → East Village → Hiring
With a light pink aesthetic under the guise of falling cherry blossoms, Hanami Heart is more of a dream than a tea shop. Flowers line the ceiling and walls to frame pink seating areas in the main room. Meanwhile simpler marble tables lie in the front to protect those with more fragile masculinity. Drink a variety of freshly made teas, smoothies, and coffee or indulge in sweet and savory pastries. Run by Taiga Nakagawa, the establishment also doubles as a safe haven for vampires. He understands that they get thirsty for something a little different than tea: a secret ingredient called love, made fresh from the heart. For all other species, don’t worry about it. Everyone is loved in Hanami Heart, so drink up, sugar your veins, and drift into eternal paradise even for just a moment. STAFF: Taiga Nakagawa (owner) HIRING: baristas, pastry chefs |
