“Mom-and-Pops of the L.E.S.,” a new sculptural art installation in Seward Park, is raising awareness of the importance of mom-and-pop shops to the fabric of the community. The installation features photographs taken by NYC based photographers James and Karla Murray of four small, family owned shops in the Lower East Side, most of which have already closed down. This near life-sized installation can be seen inside the park on Essex Street and East Broadway.
If you are or become and Untapped Cities Insider, you can join James and Kayla Murray for a walkthrough of their exhibit and tour of nearby Mom-and-Pop businesses on Friday, July 6th.
