Yonkers to hold forum for would-be restaurateurs

Would-be restaurateurs yearning for a place of their own will get a lift from the city of Yonkers Wednesday.
Looking to attract more dining spots and food stores in the downtown waterfront area, the city will hold a forum outlining the opportunities and tax breaks the city is willing to offer.
The event starts at 2 p.m. at Zuppa Restaurant, which opened at 59 Main St. in 2003. Mayor Philip Amicone will be on hand, along with Zuppa co-owner Robert Leggio, X2O Xaviers owner Peter Kelly, Struever Fidelco Cappelli project manager Peter Klein, and Steve Sansone, executive director of the downtown/waterfront Business Improvement District.
The program is driven chiefly by more than 3,000 apartment units that are either proposed for construction in the waterfront area or have already been built. Two projects already are under construction: the second phase of Hudson Park with 294 rental apartments, and the Main Street Lofts with 170 units.
To reserve a space at the forum, contact the Yonkers BID office at 914-969-6660 or e-mail Jessica Ardrey at jardrey@yonkersdowntown.com.
