“The Lincoln Square area has been the host to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week for 4 years and each season it’s exciting to see more and more businesses participate in the fashion buzz attracting insiders and local consumers alike,” says Jarrad Clark, global creative director, IMG Fashion Events and Properties. “Every year over $860 million is contributed to the city of New York by Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week visitors. $40 million of that stays right here in the Upper West Side, due in large part to businesses that welcome the Event and its attendees with open arms, such as those who participate in Fashion Plate Prix Fixe."

The nonprofit business improvement district also promotes the area’s diverse business, education and cultural offerings through annual events such as the Winter’s Eve celebration – New York’s largest holiday festival, a Lunchtime Concert Series at Richard Tucker Park, Tourist Information Ambassador Program, among others.
