Queens Borough President Melinda Katz was former Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz’s first guest of the evening on Friday, Aug. 22, as he made a guest maître d’ appearance at Rego Park’s London Lennie’s. At the 55-year-old seafood restaurant, Markowitz greeted and seated diners-including City Council Member Karen Koslowitz-and brought attention to the neighborhood’s nearby attractions to encourage visitors to explore the area. Markowitz’s appearance is part of NYC & Company’s efforts to encourage tourism to Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens and Staten Island. This was the second of four planned maître d’ appearances.
