Global Nighttime Governance CONSULTING

With over 80 cities globally—including Paris, London, Tokyo, and Sydney—embracing nighttime economies, it's essential for governments to understand their role and potential. Proactive, supportive management of nightlife can boost local economies, enhance safety, and improve quality of life, benefiting both businesses and communities.

Under Ariel's leadership, New York City's Office of Nightlife has become a global leader, showcasing innovative, common-sense solutions to systemic challenges that support both the industry and the community, such as:

• MASH: Multi-agency support for hospitality businesses

• CURE, a program that replaced the city’s former MARCH raids with a collaborative, proactive model for nightlife safety and compliance. 
• ELEVATE Nightlife Health and Wellbeing Initiative for hospitality workers
• Narcan Behind Every Bar: Overdose prevention and bystander response training
