Artists Don’t Want to Go

When the New School builds its new building on the corner, one of its major uses will be to house a consolidated Parsons School of Fashion Design, which is currently scattered among many midtown buildings. That’s according to the New School student newspaper. So expect even more groovily dressed teens outside our front doors.

For New York City’s foodies and fans of fresh and local eating alike, the Union Square Greenmarket has long been a staple for gathering all the goodies and tools necessary for a delicious and sustainable lifestyle. But it’s not the most convenient experience for everyone, with the market only staying open in the morning and early afternoon hours, leaving those with strict daytime work schedules high and dry.

Well, someone connected with the greenmarket heard the cries and pleas of the working crowd — and maybe recognized a chance to cash in on all that hard-earned money — and has worked out the perfect solution. The first first Night Market of the season at Union Square, sponsored by GrowNYC, will start this Friday evening to allow shoppers to sample everything fresh and fantastic the foodfest has to offer.

Running from 4:00PM to 8:00PM, the Night Market will include a variety of offering from local eateries and entrepreneurs. Take home raw ingredients and vegetables to master your own flavorful creations at home, or sample incredible eats from New York City’s most fabulous restaurants to satiate your tastebuds if you just can’t wait to eat until after you leave the grounds.

Try basil pudding with a strawberry granola bar on the side from Northern Spy, Moroccan spiced goat with a Greenmarket salad (complete with a honey ramp vinaigrette) from Casa Mono, or a good old fashioned grilled cheese from ‘wichcraft. All dishes are running around $7 to $10 a pop. Even better — the Night Market is also featuring a beer garden, where thirsty and celebratory patrons can kick back and survey their spoils with a frosty beer, wine or hard cider.

Who knew eating well and Happy Hour could be combined? The Night Market opens in Union Square on Friday, June 6.

Some kind of fancy champagne bar will soon be positioned across the street from our front door.

Next week (July 15 to July 19), material and equipment deliveries and installation work will continue on all floors inside the building. We will be working on the new sidewalk around the building on 13th st. Additionally we will be working on the roofs of the building.

The following week (July 22 to July 26), material and equipment deliveries and installation work will continue on all floors as well as sidewalk work.
This weekend the site will be open on Saturday, July 13th for interior, roof, and sidewalk activities between the work hours of 7AM and 5PM as permitted by the City.
