New Festive Lighting Installed to Illuminate and Bring Art to the District

The Flatiron NoMad Partnership unveiled two new festive lighting installations at the Flatiron North and South Plazas, designed to enhance the district’s public spaces and infuse the neighborhood with renewed energy as New York City embraces the winter season.

The new installations were made possible in part through the NYC Department of Small Business Services (SBS) Commercial District Lighting grant program. The installations include festive lighting above the North Plaza’s Eataly kiosk and striking ‘tulip’ lights over the South Plaza’s Flatiron Plate seating area.
