QUEENS, N.Y. [JULY 26, 2013] – Congressman Gregory W. Meeks kicked off the night by declaring, “I’ve been waiting for you!” during a press event for the newly opened BBQ restaurant in Queens.

Seeing the project become a reality, while surrounded by friends, family and fellow politicians reminded the congressman of the impact this vibrant new bar and restaurant will have on the area. “Consider this a jumpstart for the future of our community,” Meeks said, as he cut the grand opening ribbon.

Paul Lamas, President of HPH, thanked his hard-working staff of over forty employees from the Queens area, while also thanking the team from Fifteen Degrees Advertising in Manhattan. “I’ve opened many restaurants, but this one was a truly a collaboration. The Team at Fifteen Degrees brought this place to life. Their hard work and creativity can be seen all around you.”
