East Village Bed & Coffee (CLOSED)

Popular with European travelers, this East Village B&B (minus the breakfast) embodies quirky downtown culture. Each of the nine guest rooms has a unique theme: For example, the "Black and White Room" or the "Treehouse" (not as outlandish as it sounds, with an ivory and olive color scheme, animal-print linens and a whitewashed brick wall). Owner Anne Edris encourages guests to mingle in the communal areas, which include fully equipped kitchens and three loftlike living rooms (bathrooms are also shared). When the weather's nice, sip your complimentary morning java in the private garden. Rooms: 9.
