Electric box on the Flatiron Plaza North

Electricity (and Food Kiosks) Coming to the 

Flatiron Public Plazas  

Last Saturday, Con Edison began construction to supply electrical power in the Flatiron Public Plazas, which run along Broadway and Fifth Avenue between 22nd and 24th Streets. The work will provide service for two kiosks to be launched by area restaurants Benvenuto and ilili.  Offering food options was the top request in the BID's 2011 community survey about the types of amenities people wish to see at the Plazas and we're getting there!
