Coffee & Canvass

  • Welcome to Chinatown 115 Bowery New York, NY, 10002 United States (map)

​Walk the neighborhood with us and help build a real-time database of Chinatown's storefronts!

Volunteers who register will receive a code for free co-working (9am–5pm) at the Hub for the day of the event.

Why canvass storefronts?

​Chinatown has been on the defensive for decades. Critical support often only arrives after it's too late: After a legacy business closes, after a block loses its character, after displacement is irreversible. To change that, we need to understand what's happening in real time.

Through storefront canvassing, we can:

  • ​Track closures and openings, and see what businesses immediately need WtC support

  • Spot trends in business types, and identify commercial corridor shifts - what’s growing, what’s disappearing

  • Advocate with real evidence, and give policymakers and media the data they need to support Chinatown’s future

  • Preserve culture and legacy by building a historical record of Chinatown’s commercial corridor

​This is a monthly event that will take place every 4th Thursday of the month
