The New York State Latino Restaurant, Bar & Lounge Association is a New York City-based non-profit that promotes and advocates for Latino and minority businesses to help them succeed, particularly in the restaurant and bar industry. The association has more than 350 restaurant members. Harris Beach is a proud sponsor of the association, and last week was recognized for its support at the association’s annual gala. Elliot Hallak of our Capital Region offices, works with the association and several of its members and is our prime point of contact with the association.

The event gave us exposure not only to association members, but numerous public officials, such as New York Secretary of State Robert Rodriguez and Assemblyman Manny De Los Santos of New York.
