A Little History
For over 75 years, The Villager has been Downtown Manhattan’s preferred news channel. The Villager offers the most in-depth local news —information you’ll find nowhere else. Whether it’s the waterfront, community board, politics, quality of life, local business, arts and entertainment or profiles of newsmaking personalities, The Villager covers it best. The Villager was voted New York State’s best weekly community newspaper in 2001, 2004 and 2005 by the New York Press Association, winning the coveted Stuart C. Dorman Award.

Greenwich Village, the East Village and Lower East Side, Soho, Noho, Chinatown, Little Italy, Chelsea, Union Square and Gramercy — in short, the neighborhoods The Villager covers — are among the most dynamic, colorful, contentious and exciting places on earth. And it’s the people who live, work and play here that make this area such a desirable market. From preservation and quality of life to development, housing, parks, schools, politics and community boards, the news doesn’t stop. Because Villagers — active, committed and creative — don’t either.

CIRCULATION: PRINT EDITION
Reaching over 50,000 readers, The Villager is distributed every Wednesday, primarily by paid subscription, retail locations and 50 street boxes in the East Village and Lower East Side. Its primary readership resides in Greenwich Village.
