On Thursday, April 15th, Brooklyn Borough President
Marty Markowitz joined NYC & Company President and CEO Cristyne
Nicholas in launching the first-ever “Dine in Brooklyn”
at one of Brooklyn’s most beloved Italian restaurants
Marco Polo Ristorante.
“Brooklyn’s
restaurant scene in New York City – our food is quality,
quantity and value,” said Borough President Markowitz.
“If you’re into food, Brooklyn is the heartland!”
More
than 100 restaurants throughout Brooklyn are participating in
the week-long event that runs from Thursday April 15th, through
Thursday, April 22nd. The restaurants have agreed to offer a
prix fixe meal for $18.98, a price inspired by the year 1898
when Brooklyn joined New York City. The program is being presented
by Brooklyn Tourism and Visitors Center and sponsored by MasterCard
International, Brooklyn Brewery, Time Out New York Magazine,
and the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce. A list of participating
restaurants can be found at www.brooklyn-usa.org.
