The Lower East Side Partnership is celebrating 30 years of improving the neighborhood and the quality of life for businesses, residents, and visitors alike.
The city’s neighborhood associations and business improvement districts (BIDs) have long worked hard to create welcoming neighborhood environments for workers, visitors and tourists alike, taking steps to beautify the city while making it safer, more entertaining and generally more desirable places for people to spend their time.

The city’s Economic Development Corp. (EDC) announced today a few of the new vendors joining the Essex Street Market when it opens an expanded facility as part of the Essex Crossing project next year.
Joining 27 existing merchants in the new market space will be three independent businesses well known to New Yorkers. They are Chinatown Ice Cream Factory, a local institution for four decades; Essex Shambles, an offshoot of the butcher shop Harlem Shambles; and Zerza, a new concept from Radouane Eljaouhari (he previously operated the Moroccan spot Zerza on East Sixth Street).
The 77-year-old market will be tripling its space in the new facility, which is scheduled to open on the south side of Delancey Street in September of 2018. The EDC, which operates the facility, is working on filling nine more stalls, plus two stand-alone restaurant spaces.
