Earth Month is here, and we’re joining forces with the Sanitation Foundation to spring clean this city!

Uptown Grand Central is one of more than 100 community groups, schools and partners pitching in to host community cleanups citywide as part of the NYC Big Spring Clean.

Roll up your sleeves with us here in East Harlem on Saturday, April 27, at noon, to take action on the blocks surrounding the East 125th Street corridor. We'll provide the trashbags, gloves and tools, and of course snacks from our local small businesses.

You'll be treated to the Antoinette Montague Experience, featuring Antoinette Montague (vocals), Bobby Sanabria (drums), Danny Mixon (piano), Melissa Slocum (bass) and A.C. Lincoln (tap).

The East Harlem 125th Street BID Steering Committee, a group of businesses, property owners, residents, and elected officials, is proposing to create a new Business Improvement District (BID) along 125th Street between just east of Fifth Avenue to Second Avenue, south to 124th Street on some block faces and north to 128th Street on some block faces.

The BID would be the first for East Harlem, which is currently the only community district in Manhattan without one. A BID will help us make a positive impact on our community – addressing issues including cleanliness, beautification and public safety.

We’re hosting two public meetings for property owners and tenants who own a property, run a business or organization, or reside within the proposed BID district (marked green on the full map here). The information shared in each session will be the same, so you need to only join one:

Thursday, February 8, 6 p.m.

Tuesday, February 27, 10 a.m.

The Caribbean Cultural Center, 120 East 125th Street (Park/Lex)

The meeting will be in-person, with an online option. Register to attend here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdA8WDVLM4cxLv0P2rrH1Yz1W1AFqbvXuFZp6mhLBeo88R7hA/viewform

If you own property, run a business or organization, or reside within this district, you can help the effort by completing a statement of support: https://uptowngrandcentral.org/bid-formation.

Calling all chocolate fans: Hot Chocolate Rides are back for their third year running! We're teaming up again with our friends at El Barrio Bikes to host three weekends of bike tours that will have you sipping some of the best hot drinks across Harlem.
