Jefferson Avenue Residents Honor Royal Rib House & Cut Green Ribbon to Vegetable/Native Plant Garden Showplace

Published on

The Jefferson Avenue Block Association between Tompkins and Throop, Jefferson T&T held their day-long annual block party with a twist.
They honored a local business – the family-owned and operated Calvin’s Royal Rib House, with their new Business Influencer Award for 30 years of service — and serving authentic Southern Cuisine – to the Bedford Stuyvesant and beyond.
In addition, they held their long-awaited Green Ribbon-Cutting to a beautiful garden spot which was a derelict plot of land as recently as last spring.
The all-day block party celebration included live entertainment & DJ, food, and games and the participation of representatives from the NYC Deputy Commissioner of Parks & Recreation, Councilman Al Vann’s office, Garden Sponsors Citizens of Committee of NYC, Lowe’s managers and employees, among others by the Awards Ceremony which starts at 4PM.
Altovise F. Fleary, President, Jefferson Avenue TNT Block Association, coordinated the event.  For more information, visit www.jeffersonavetnt.com
