All hail the pioneers! Ten of Bay Ridge’s most dedicated business owners and civic do-gooders were given public recognition for their efforts to make the community a better place to live and work at a special dinner hosted by one of Brooklyn’s leading merchants’ organizations.
The Merchants of Third Avenue held its 22nd Annual Pioneers of Third Avenue Champagne Reception Monday night, welcoming more than 100 people to the Bay Ridge Manor catering hall.
The Merchants, a group that represents the interests of store owners on Third Avenue from 67th Street to 95th Street, bestows Pioneer awards on shop keepers who have made a long-term commitment to the avenue and to Bay Ridge.
