MANAGE AND OPERATE A YEAR ROUND HOSPITALITY SUBCONCESSION AT GANESVOORT PLAZA

The Meatpacking District Management Association, Inc. (“MDMA”), a not-for-profit corporation organized under the laws of the State of New York, is seeking proposals (“Proposals”) from qualified firms (“Proposers”) by this request (“Request” or “RFP”) to manage and operate a market and hospitality subconcession (“Subconcession”) at a pedestrian plaza designated by the New York City Department of Transportation (“DOT”) located at Ninth Avenue between Gansevoort Street and 15th Street and 14th Street between 10th Avenue and Hudson Street in Manhattan, New York as more particularly hereinafter described. The Plaza is furnished with tables, chairs, umbrellas, and planters, and is open year-round (weather dependent).

It is the goal of the MDMA to work closely with the chosen Proposer to create a Subconcession that is successful and enhances the atmosphere of the Plaza and this vibrant neighborhood. The Subconcession should provide an amenity for those who work and live in the area as well as those who visit the Plaza.
