Marty makes a splash in Sunset Park to draw attention to the nabe
In an effort to entice tourists to visit Sunset park, NYC & Company enlisted former Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz — now the agency’s vice president of borough engagement — to act as maître d’ at its Neighborhood X Neighborhood event at the Pacificana restaurant on February 17.
Just two days before the kick-off of Lunar New Year celebrations – the reason for the focus on Sunset Park this month — Markowitz greeted and seated guests at the Pacificana while letting them know how tourism supports local businesses.
“I want residents to get excited about everything NYC & Company is doing to get tourists to explore their neighborhood,” he said.
