Fairway Market in Red Hook reopening with a party on Friday, March 1
Four months after Red Hook’s Fairway Market was forced to close by Superstorm Sandy, the foodie emporium is readying for a grand reopening and ribbon cutting this Friday morning, March 1.
The popular supermarket, a business anchor in Red Hook, was devastated by Hurricane Sandy and has been renovating from floor to ceiling over the last four months.
New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg will keynote the program, which begins at 9:30 a.m. at the store, which is located at 480-500 Van Brunt St.
Also joining in the ceremony will be Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz and other elected officials and local dignitaries, as well as Miss America 2013 Mallory Hagan, Fairway Market executives, dozens of local business owners (many offering demonstrations), and hundreds of residents. Entertainment will be provided by 103.5 KTU’s Matt Bosso, the Brooklyn Dodger Symphony Band and others.
