Newkirk Plaza

Above the Newkirk Avenue subway station, Newkirk Plaza is one of America’s oldest pedestrian shopping “malls”.

East Side Shops - Newkirk Plaza

FDC works closely with the
Newkirk Plaza Merchants Association to improve their stores, storefronts, attract new businesses, and address community issues as they arise. FDC does this by working with government agencies and local elected officials to enhance the overall appearance and safety of the Plaza. By securing funds from Assembly members Jim Brennan and Rhoda Jacobs, and Council Member Yvette Clarke, FDC was able to bring a beautiful wrought iron fence, decorative paving, lights and banners to the Plaza. With capital funds from Borough President Marty Markowitz, we will be adding the finishing touches, which include a bike rack, planters, and a Clock at each end.
