PlaceMatters: a joint project of City Lore and the Municipal Art Society

Place Matters is conducting this Census to discover places in New York City that tell our history, and anchor our traditions and communities. Nominations are collected from the public and used to make these places and their stories better known, and to encourage action on their behalf.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You may submit a nomination using the form below, but we encourage you to bypass this version and go to the more user-friendly nomination form linked to our interactive PlaceExplorer. Click on the EXPLORE button on the top toolbar. You will need the Macromedia Flash Player version 7 or higher, which is a free and easy download. (www.macromedia.com/downloads).
