The award is the highest honor for small businesses that the New York State Senate can present and recognizes those businesses that are outstanding in the community.
Senator Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick said that the deli is a gem of the community of Malverne. She added that it has been operating for close to 25 years and during this time has become a staple in the neighborhood. She continued to say that the deli very much deserves this award as it reflects how important it has become to those living in the area.
