Things to do in Stuyvesant Town, New York City - any tips from locals?

Stuy Town is more of a massive apartment complex than an actual neighborhood. I think Stuy Town has a lot of activities like outdoor movies and such that they plan for the residents; but, there really isn't much to do as far as the "neighborhood" goes. It's really barren and kind of depressing. But, it's so close to the East Village that living here isn't bad. You just walk like two blocks, and you're surrounded by East Village bars and restaurants.
