Rent this East 10th Street apartment, gain access to a rooftop 'art gallery'

There's a new listing for a one-bedroom apartment at 269 E. 10th St., a walk-up between Avenue A and First Avenue… the listing via The Modern Group is blah, blah, the usual… until!

Best kept little secret....Amazing art gallery & views on the rooftop, perfect for photoshoots, selfies or drinks with friends.

(Selfies! Heh.)

And the Streeteasy listing includes photos of this art…









Anyone know anything about who created all this?

On an unrelated note, a search of this address turned up this tidbit via New York Songlines:

The first home to have a Christmas tree with electric lights was in the East Village at 269 E.10th Street in 1883. It was owned by Edward Johnson, an associate of the famed inventor Thomas Edison.

Wonder if they waited until August to throw away the tree?

Luke's Lobster now a selling point for East Village apartments

Wonder if the real-estate types know that Luke's delivers?

How do you find an apartment in the East Village these days?

A reader and East Village resident is looking for another apartment in the neighborhood... and she's tired of Craigslist and its scams ... So how do you find an apartment here these days?

The last time I looked for an apartment, I walked over to the Voice offices on a Tuesday night to get an early copy of that week's paper... so, uh, I'm a little out of it... Anyone have any legit suggestions? (I also mentioned StreetEasy...)

Dinosaur Jr.? When a studio apartment is considered "gigantosaurus"

The following studio has been on Craigslist the past week...

Just look at this beautiful studio apartment! It has great sunlight, lots of space, and AMAZING Hardwood Floors and Walls. This place will make a great showcase for your art and style. In addition to that, the alcove kitchen contains a dishwasher, and there is a full-sized bathroom.

This very safe low-rise elevator building contains a video intercom system and there are laundry facilities internal to the building. Pets are acceptable in this building as well. Call me right away to see this apartment and others like it!

Which means this one isn't actually available! So, all we know is it's on East Fourth Street and costs $2,100 a month, a gigantosaurus rate if you ask us.
