ABOUT US
WHO
WE
ARE
The Village Alliance supports clean, safe, and vibrant commercial corridors within our District boundaries. We do this by providing additional sanitation and safety services, advocating for public space improvements, and implementing creative marketing and community-building to attract and retain local business.
The 44 blocks of the Village Alliance Business Improvement District represent a diverse cross-section of the Village neighborhood. The district centers on 8th Street between Second and Sixth Avenues, and covers neighboring blocks along Sixth Avenue (W. 4th to W 13th St.), University Place (E. 8th to E. 13th St), Broadway (Waverly Pl. to E. 10th St.) and Astor Place. The area has been a pivotal spot in American history and popular culture.
The area outlined in red on the map below represents the Village Alliance District Service Area.

DISTRICT
MARKETING
PROGRAMS
With our marketing partnership program, partners agree to construct a partnership of mutual benefit. Through this, we can promote the business and events in Greenwich Village and Astor Place more proactively and support the district’s growth and success.
For complete information about the marketing partnership and other sponsorship options including Street Lamp Pole Banners, Dining Guide, Public Space Activations, Digital Marketing and Holiday Lighting, email isabel@greenwichvillage.nyc.
The Astor Place plazas are available to activate for many event types, ranging from film and television shoots to brand promotions.
If you are interested in holding an event, film or photo shoot on either of the Astor Place public plazas, you must apply to both the Village Alliance and the City’s Street Activity Permit Office (SAPO) or Mayor’s Film Office for permission.
Our plaza event use guidelines outline the permit process, associated fees and contain the application form. Please email isabel@greenwichvillage.nyc to apply to activate in Astor Place.
