The Midtown Grid: The Movie

Central Avenue now has its own commercial.

Interns from the New School Center for Media spent the summer on Central Avenue, soaking in and recording all the street has to offer, including three music venues, 80 international restaurants, and a thriving international community. And it's all adjacent to area colleges, and just a hop-walkable skip-and a-jump to area employers.

The result is a short 4-minute ode to the street's emerging identity as an arts and entertainment district--what we're calling, The Midtown Grid. The piece features interviews with local business owners, close-ups of the international restaurants that call this street home, and shots of daily life on Central Avenue.

Take a gander. We think you'll be intrigued.
