Restaurant Membership
I run a serious restaurant operation and that means looking after my business and everyone I employ. I’m proud to be a NYSRA member because when they advocate on my behalf they do it as the voice of the very best of our profession. When NYSRA speaks, they are heard and I am well represented.
JOHN CARR
Founder/Brewer, Adirondack Pub & Brewery
My father first joined NYSRA in 1979, he told me that to be successful you must “know” your business. Our 54 years in business is because of the knowledge, support and networking NYSRA has given us.
DENNIS DIPAOLO
Owner/Operator, Ilio DiPaolo's Restaurant & Banquet Facility
If it wasn’t for the hard work of the NYSRA, we would have been lost navigating this pandemic nightmare alone. We will be forever grateful and always be a member.
DORA PHILIP
Owner of the Hollow Bar + Kitchen
As a mom and owner of four restaurants, my time is precious. NYSRA is invaluable for helping me maximize my resources and allowing me to connect with my peers to learn new ways to handle the challenges I face every day. There’s a refreshing attitude among members that we are all in this together and should help each other succeed.
