The money will help pay for our new and improved web site.

The web site will include all the stories, features, opinions and pictures we run in the magazine plus many we don’t have room to include.

We also will include fiction, essays, and other things we do not run in the magazine.

Temporarily, we have been using a Facebook group page, “East Village Magazine.” There are about 600 photographs we ran in the first five or six years in East Village Magazine

All the staff members of East Village Magazine wish you a joyous holiday season and a happy new year.
