“Union Square has always been at the forefront of New York City dining – from blink-and-you’ll-miss-it seasonal produce at the Greenmarket to cutting-edge fine-dining concepts and longstanding restaurants that have launched the careers of many talented chefs, all just steps from Union Square Park,” said Julie Stein, Executive Director of Union Square Partnership. “Harvest 2024 is not only an opportunity to celebrate our vibrant food scene, but also a platform to catch up with old friends and meet new neighbors while raising essential funds for Union Square Park. I am immensely grateful to the restaurant partners and sponsors co-hosting alongside us to ensure Harvest 2024 is a night to remember.”
Funds raised through Harvest are invested in Union Square Park to support landscaping and beautification of the plazas, lawns, and seating areas; Union Square Partnership’s Clean Team staff and Public Safety Officers who enhance livability throughout the park and the playground; and free community programming for visitors of all ages.
