For those about to shop

The East Village Community Coalition has compiled the seventh edition of their Get Local! Guide to locally owned and operated stores. You can find it here (PDF!)

Per the EVCC website:

Spending your money locally helps small businesses thrive in the East Village.

Local shopping also:
• Keeps more money in our community
• Creates local jobs with fair wages
• Sustains small business owners who defend our neighborhood’s identity
• Spending your money locally helps small businesses thrive in the East Village.

The newly available 7th Edition lists more than 450 local merchants and is available in shops and cafes in the neighborhood.
