My wife and I lived in a one-bedroom on West 11th Street between Fifth and Sixth for three years after we got married. Before that, I’d gone to Cardozo Law School, so I spent almost seven years in and around that neighborhood.

The West Village is a great place to live when you’re young -- whether your’re single, dating or just married. There are so many great restaurants and bars. I loved Sushi Samba, The Grey Dog Cafe, and then some more off-the-radar places like Piadina, a small Italian place on West 10th Street.
