(Long Island, NY) Just in time for holiday shopping and traveling, a Taste NY shop opened at LaGuardia Airport last Thursday. Located next to the food court in Terminal C, the store sells a wide array of wine, spirits, cider, beer, chutney, jam, sauces, pickles and other products that have one thing in common — they were made in New York State.
Part of an initiative by Governor Andrew Cuomo to promote state food and beverages to consumers around the world, Taste NY is jointly operated by Delta, Brooklyn Oenology Winery and OTG, the airport’s concessionaire. In 2014, other Taste NY stores will open in airports, train stations and transportation hubs around the Empire State. “More than 25 million people passed through LaGuardia in 2012,” stated Lieutenant Governor Robert J. Duffy, who is seen with scissors at the Dec. 16 ribbon-cutting. “That’s a massive audience for the great products of Taste New York.”
