July 2020 Community Events from the West 13th Street Alliance

The West 13th Street Alliance is grateful to continue serving our neighborhood and beyond during the COVID-19 pandemic with Virtual Community Events in the month of July. Local residents, whether at home in New York, or far away, have enthusiastically participated in our events over Zoom during these past few months.

Our June events included a spa-like experience at home with Do It Yourself Hand and Foot Massage with Nina Priya David. One attendee wrote right after the event, “After that workout on my feet, I have to tell you my feet felt great and way better and still going strong. I must keep working on them.”

Another highlight in June, to celebrate Pride Month, was Drag Queen Story Hour, a collaborative Zoom presentation of the West 13th Street Alliance and Church of the Village. It was a delightful session of song, storytelling and love with Rev. Yolanda. “I had so much fun,” one participant said. We are planning to have this event at the Church in the future when our city opens up again.

The mission of the West 13th Street Alliance is to help improve the quality of life on West 13th Street between 7th and Greenwich Avenues and beyond. They were just awarded a Citizens Committee for New York City All In Neighborhood Grant, which will enable them to expand their already popular community programming among other things. The West 13th Street Alliance is working hard to help our neighbors at this time of crisis and are grateful for the support from Citizens Committee of NYC.
