Join us for a meet and greet with the newly-elected representative for the 2nd City Council District (map) — covering all of Greenwich Village east of 6th Avenue, the East Village, and NoHo — Harvey Epstein.

 In 2018, Harvey Epstein was elected the NYS Assemblymember for the 74th District (map), representing most of the East Village, parts of the Lower East Side, and parts of the East 20s, 30s, and 40s. Prior to that he was a community board 3 chair, President of the School District 1 Presidents Council, and PTA President, and a tenant representative on the Rent Guidelines Board. In the State Assembly, he co-authored the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act, which was passed in 2019. In June of 2025 he won the Democratic Primary to succeed term-limited and since-departed City Councilmember Carlina Rivera. 

Join us for an opportunity to hear from our new City Councilmember about his thoughts on preservation, planning, development, small business retention, and other issues facing the district he represents, and to hear from Village Preservation and you about issues you care about. There will be a Q&A and an opportunity to chat with the new Councilmember and members of his staff.
