Four million people ride the New York City subway each week -- certainly a captive audience of potential shoppers. The MTA is always looking for entrepreneurial partners to lease a wide variety of retail. Opportunities range from grab-and-go to larger mezzanine opportunities that could incorporate food and beverage, as well as other uses.

Retail opportunities are also available along the routes of the Long Island Rail Road and Metro North. And the MTA is creatively activating spaces in dozens of stations, energizing vacant retail with art installations and cultural programming.

For more information on real estate opportunities with the MTA, go to mta.info.

RW: This past week the city's Small Business Services commissioner Dynishal Gross announced that the agency would be awarding $4 million in grants to business improvement districts and other community based organizations to further strengthen our retail corridors across the 5 boroughs.

DG:  We want to improve the street level experience of New Yorkers in neighborhoods across the city.  We want the commercial districts to be a place where the business owners can thrive.  Where their customers feel welcomed and that are inviting for both residents and tourists to experience the cultures of these neighborhoods.

RW:  This investment builds upon the proven tract record that the city's business improvement districts have in making our neighborhoods cleaner, safer, and more inviting.
