The holiday shopping season got off to a festive start for the Bay Ridge Fifth Avenue Business Improvement District as members got together for a party on Dec. 3.
The business owners were joined by elected officials and civic leaders at the party at the Bay Ridge Manor catering hall on 76th Street.
BID President Jim Clark, vice president of The Flood Company, a real estate firm, presented awards to two of the organization’s members, Zoe Koutsoupakis, executive vice president of Marathon Bank of New York, and Olympia Colandrea, owner of Salon Da Noi, a spa on the avenue. The two women were cited for their efforts to attract new shoppers to the avenue.
