Project snapshot

I want to conduct a pilot program called ?Feast on The East? to market East Harlem. We will showcase businesses using traditional marketing tools like billboards on the Westside Highway, FDR, Major Deegan, and Cross Bronx Expressway. We will also advertise at bus stops and train stations to increase foot traffic and revenue in East Harlem. Since opening my business in June 2017, I’ve held annual Thanksgiving Community Dinners and Toy Giveaways without financial assistance. We also participate in an Annual Coat Drive, Back to School, and Easter Egg Hunt with the 25th precinct. Additionally, we provide food for National Night Out, hosted by precincts countrywide.
