On December 5, the Throggs Neck BID, along with Assembly Member Michael Benedetto, the Crosstown Diner, HK Restaurant, Deluca Family McDonalds, and the Throggs Neck Merchants Association presented the Throggs Neck Annual Tree Lighting and Toy Giveaway. The spectacular event drew a large crowd, and featured a musical serenade by the Saint Benedicts Children’s choir and an extraordinary amount of food from the three restaurants featured. Special thanks to the NYC Parks Department, the 45th precinct, and the many volunteers who made the event a success!
