We want to hear from you! Share with us your own memories of how these institutions have made their mark in your community and in your life.

Is your favorite Upper West Side business missing from the list of honorees? Tell us about them! We’ll include a list of your Heroes here on the website and in printed material given out at the event.

Please help spread the word about this celebration! Encourage neighbors, colleagues, friends to join you on Monday, September 19 (details here). And learn more about challenges and advocacy to defend New York’s small businesses by visiting Take Back NYC!
