About Irving Magazine
Irving is a new print magazine with current circulation in NYC’s Gramercy neighborhood. We highlight events, restaurants, and shops within walking distance, curate lists, collaborate with local businesses, and publish original articles that pique the interest of our hyperlocal reading base.
Print copies of the current issue are available at Irving Farm at 71 Irving Place while they last. Other small businesses and offices around Gramercy also have a few copies on-hand for their customers. When you come across one, feel free to take it home.
To find out when each print issue is available, follow us @irvingmagazine or sign-up for our email list.
Irving magazine is published, edited, and designed by Highly Refined Design, a design studio located on Irving Place in Gramercy. When their Creative Director, Christine Collister, isn’t busy with the magazine, she helps Gramercy- and NYC-based businesses with branding, websites, presentations, annual reports, menus, and other print/digital design needs. If your business could benefit from better visuals or storytelling, get in touch. Christine lives and works right on Irving Place.
