Reported for the Flatiron Hot! News by Tod Shapiro

I recently attended the Flatiron 23rd Street Partnership’s monthly Board meeting as part of my Community Board work.  It’s always exciting and enlightening to see what the BID is up to – as all of us in Flatiron know, they perform many valuable “extra” services for our bustling and busy neighborhood, including street cleaning, social services, public events, and management of the

wonderful public plazas by the Flatiron Building. No less important, the BID helps market and promote our neighborhood across the city, the country and the larger world.  Certainly, the New York City Seminar and Conference Center, our blog sponsor, hosts visitors for business meetings that come into the neighborhood from points of origin all across the world, and we all benefit tremendously from their efforts.  Therefore, it was with great interest that I heard that a new Digital Welcome Package, which can be accessed by BID businesses and occupants that want to clue in their patrons, friends, or families on just how much goes on here, is now available thanks to the BID’s efforts!  It pulls together in one pithy screen or e-mail many of the valuable services – events, businesses, restaurants, deals, retail opportunities, and news items that happen here all the time.  Thanks so much to the BID, and Megan Garcia, their intrepid Marketing and Community Engagement Director, for pulling together this useful digital tool.  Click here to see what it’s all about!
