On Saturday, Oct. 1, New York State Senator Anna M. Kaplan (D-Port Washington) welcomed Gov. Kathy Hochul to Great Neck for a small business tour, and to remind everyone of the importance of shopping and dining local.

While they were in the neighborhood, they spoke with the owners of New Fu Run Traditional Northern Chinese Cuisine and the Great Neck Diner to learn more about the needs and priorities of local small business owners.

Kaplan said “As Chair of the Senate Small Business Committee, it was an honor welcoming our Gov. Kathy Hochul to check out some great local small businesses, and to remind everyone to shop and dine local! I always love hearing from our small business community about their needs, and this was a great opportunity to hear from local business owners about how we can best support them in state government.”
