Downtown Manhattan will soon have its own real estate-focused newsweekly,
Our Town Downtown, a spin-off of the East Side weekly
Our Town. Published by Manhattan Media, whose titles
focus on New York real estate and lifestyles,
Our Town Downtown will target residents of Manhattan living beneath 28th Street--with news from real estate, education, and politics, with
particular attention to downtown's increasingly residential demographic. According to Tom Allon, president and CEO of Manhattan Media, "the demographics of Lower Manhattan have changes dramatically.
Young hipsters who may have read publications like
The Village Voice and the
NY Press have all moved to Brooklyn."
