Welcome to Queens: Chamber highlights hospitality industry

The Queens Chamber of Commerce held its inaugural Restaurant and Hospitality Committee Networking Reception at the Boro Hotel in Long Island City on May 23. There were 25 vendors and 150 attendees at the two-hour event that featured food and drinks from local Queens restaurants.

“We felt it was important to start a Restaurant and Hospitality Committee because there is a lot going on in the food scene in Queens, and we felt it was time to recognize that and advocate for restaurants and hotels in Queens County,” said executive director Thomas Grech.
