BROADWAY PLAZA
We maintain, manage, and beautify the Broadway Plaza between East 17th St. and East 18th St. in agreement with NYC DOT. If you are interested in having an event in the Broadway Plaza, please review the New York City guidelines for plaza events before applying for a permit with the Office of Citywide Event Coordination and Management’s Street Activity Permit Office (CECM/SAPO).
UNION SQUARE PARK PLAZA
We also support the Parks Department through maintenance and beautification of the Union Square Park North, South, and West Plazas. To plan an event in one of these plazas, you must file a permit with The New York City Parks Department.
