Please note that: Due to funding cuts, GrowNYC has closed its Farmstands citywide this winter and spring. This means that the GrowNYC Farmstand at 125th Street will be closed from December through June.

Until the Farmstand begins again officially in July, we've heard that you want to keep the veggies coming! If you're interested in joining a new Community Buying Club for the winter and spring, please add your name here. We will be creating Winter Boxes featuring a mix of fruit, greens and seasonal items, all sourced through the farms of GrowNYC. 

You asked, and we're working with the New York Public Library to make it happen: Join us for a family-friendly Grandscale Mural Project walking tour!

Artist and 125th Street Library senior children's librarian Ana Bravo will host us for an afternoon of art-making, plus tour, of the East 125th Street murals on Tuesday, December 16, at 3 p.m.

This winter season! We’re teaming up with El Barrio Bikes @elbarriobikesand East Harlem Walks @eastharlemwalks to offer a series of Hot Chocolate Tours, where you can either walk or bike your way across the neighborhood to sample the best hot drinks Uptown.

From rich hot chocolates, to Dubai mochas, to buttermilk pancake lattes and more, we’ll visit small businesses across the neighborhood to hear from local small business owners and try the seasonal offerings on their menus.

Each tour is on a Sunday afternoon, and you can select your modality: Sunday, December 7 (Walk), Sunday, December 14 (Long Ride), or Sunday, December 21(Short Ride).

No bike? No worry. We’re able to provide both bikes and helmets thanks to Citi Bike @citibike and the NYC Department of Transportation @nyc_dot. Register at the link in our profile.

This past summer's Grandscale Mural Project paint parties were such a vibe that: We're adding two more paint days this autumn!

So many amazing artists and creatives have applied to be a part of the project that we're putting two more dates on the calendar: On Saturdays, October 11 and October 18, from Noon-4 p.m., join us for some more great mural-making on the construction fences along East 125th Street.

There'll be live painting, music and good vibes -- with more than 25 artists creating murals to support and uplift the neighborhood. Click the images above for interviews with some of this past summer's artists. 

Do you have a group that wants to pitch in on one of our community mural sections? We arrange volunteer days for schools, churches and other community groups. Email us at info@uptowngrandcentral.org.
 

This year's paint season has featured both the Gates Revival, when we're repainting storefront gates from previous years including the 100 Gates Project and We Are New Yorkers, as well as the fourth edition of the Grandscale Mural Project. Both are sponsored by the NYC Department of Small Business Services, the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, Deputy Speaker Diana Ayala, the Lower Manhattan Cultural Center & Materials for the Arts.
