Savino hosts block party outside her Coney Island office
State Sen. Diane Savino (D-Coney Island-Bensonhurst-Staten Island) is celebrating the reopening of her Coney Island district office with a block party. And she’s inviting the whole community to join her!
Savino’s block party will take place on Sunday, June 23, from noon to 3 p.m. on West 15th Street between Neptune and Mermaid Avenues. There will be a petting zoo and face painting for the kids, according to one of the senator’s aides. Representatives of the New York Aquarium will be there to give away prizes.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony at the office, 2872 West 15th St., is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. The office was closed for five months due to flooding damage from Super-storm Sandy. Savino and her staff operated out of a temporary space until repairs could be made. The senator reopened the office in April. But the block party on Sunday will mark a grand reopening.
