About

Our Town Downtown has officially launched (or should we say re-launched?). We have a history of covering Lower Manhattan; our parent company, Manhattan Media—publishers of community papers Our Town, West Side Spirit, Chelsea Clinton News and Dan’s Papers, arts and culture publication CityArts, and lifestyle magazines New York Family and AVENUE—printed a similar version of this paper from about 2006 to 2007. After a four-year hiatus, we are officially back, but this time in a different form.

Our Town Downtown is a merry hybrid of traditional community newspaper and lifestyle magazine. While we are a local newspaper, published weekly, we have a flair for design and an emphasis on dining, real estate, education and the goings-on around town. We’re excited to merge with the New York Press for our arts and listings coverage to present the best picks of the week within walking distance of your neighborhood.

As demonstrated in our first feature story “Southern Frontiers: What we and other Manhattan notables love south of 14th Street,” Downtown Manhattan is a truly unique and wonderful place to live in. And it is a great time to be covering Downtown Manhattan. From Chinatown to Soho to FiDi and many other nabes, our coverage area has it all. Come find us in your neighborhood.
