Hispanic & Latinx-Owned Businesses in Flatiron & NoMad
Sep 21, 2022
National Hispanic Heritage Month is observed from September 15 through October 15. We recognize and honor the histories, cultures, and contributions of Americans whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. To celebrate local Hispanic & Latinx-owned businesses, we’ve created a roundup of Flatiron & NoMad-based spots to support.
