Valentines for Small Businesses

This Valentine’s Day, we’re showing love to the true heart of New York City: our small businesses. Across the five boroughs, more than 180,000 small businesses keep this city moving — from your go-to Chinese takeout spot, to the halal cart you rely on for lunch, to the laundromat that’s been part of the block longer than any of us.

This Saturday afternoon (2/14), libraries across NYC will have free Valentines available for New Yorkers to pick up and deliver to their favorite small businesses.

Head to one one of these libraries. Grab a Valentine. Write a note. Deliver it to a small business you love. 

We <3 NYC — and the people and small businesses that help it run.
