Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the Brighton Beach Business Improvement District, in partnership with the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, held a Business to Business on Brighton trade show and luncheon on Mar. 20 at the ornate Atlantic Oceana Restaurant, which was once a movie theater on bustling Brighton Beach Avenue.

"Brighton Beach and its BID are famous for their hospitality, warmth, and vitality," said Mark Kessler, interim president, Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, who congratulated the BID on its 20th anniversary.

New York City Council Member David Yassky, chairperson, Small Business Committee said, "It's up and up for Brighton Beach and it's going even further! Brighton Beach will be more and more a center of city commerce."
