This Valentine’s Day…Shop Local!

FDC in partnership with our local merchants associations: Newkirk Plaza Merchants Association (NPMA) & Cortelyou Road Merchants Association (NPMA) is participating in the citywide campaign: Sweethearts Shop Local – Be a #SmallBusinessSweetie. For the second year in a row, this campaign of forty + Neighborhood Associations, BID’s and Community Organizations work together to show some love to our local businesses on Valentine’s Day. This campaign is a gentle reminder to always shop local, dine local & promote the merchants in our local economy.
