Dead Flowers Productions is very proud to be working in solidarity with
#SaveNYC, a grassroots, crowd-sourced, D.I.Y. movement to protect and preserve the diversity and uniqueness of the urban fabric in New York City. As our vibrant streetscapes and neighborhoods are turned into bland, suburban-style shopping malls, filled with chain stores and glossy luxury retail, #SaveNYC is fighting for small businesses and cultural institutions to remain in place.
After a disaster like the Second Avenue explosion and fire, impacted small businesses struggle to survive. Some don’t make it. Especially the old favorites. #SaveNYC is holding a
Small Biz Crawl along Second Avenue to bring customers, cash, and attention to those mom-and-pops in need. This weekend, we’ll do the western side of Second; next time, the eastern side. Meet #SaveNYC on
Saturday, April 11th,
at noon. We’re starting at Gem Spa on the northwest corner of Second Avenue and St. Mark’s Place. Buy your magazines, cigarettes, egg creams at this first stop.
* From there, we’ll head down towards 7th Street. Do some gift shopping at Himalayan Visions. Then it’s lunch at the B&H Dairy, Paul’s Da Burger Joint, or Hot Kitchen. Your choice. After lunch, we’ll weave our way across the barricades of 7th Street to stock up on groceries at the New Yorkers supermarket, and then cross back over to unwind with an espresso or glass of wine at Café Mocha. Please bring your #SaveNYC sign to let everyone know who we are and why we’re there.

*Stops along the route are subject to change. Our next one
will be on a Sunday so Moishe's Bakery can be included.
