I lived at 100 East 7th Street in the East Village in NYC from 2000 until 2005 in my uncle-in-law’s rent-controlled apartment (I’ll make you cry a little – it was a 2 bedroom unit I paid $600 a month for).
It wasn’t until I got married and moved and my brother took over the apartment did I ever see who lived behind the door of 102 East 7th Street (and what was in there).
His name is Anthony Pisano, and he’s a wonderful old man:

Further validating the fact that the East Village is still the best neighborhood in New York.
