This week, in recognition of the two year anniversary of Hurricane Sandy, we’re asking all of you to visit businesses in the neighborhoods impacted by the storm.
Spend your lunch hour in the Seaport, head to Red Hook, South Queens or Coney Island for dinner, or stop by Hylan Boulevard on the East Shore of Staten Island to show your support. All of the neighborhoods included in the City’s designated business recovery zones are listed below.
When you visit a business in a Sandy-affected neighborhood this week, make sure to take a photo and share your experience on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook and use the hashtag #ShopSandyBiz.
Business Recovery Zones: Lower Manhattan/South Street Seaport; Brooklyn Harbor Waterfront/Newtown Creek (DUMBO, Greenpoint/Newtown Creek, Red Hook, Gowanus, Sunset Park); South Brooklyn (Coney Island, Brighton Beach, Manhattan Beach, Sheepshead Bay, Gerritsen Beach); South Queens (Howard Beach and The Rockaways); and the South Shore of Staten Island.
