Chef Albert Teekasingh, chef/owner of Tropical Revival,
known for his excellent Caribbean cuisine, received a citation from
Councilmember Paul Vallone on April 2.
Joining Vallone were members of the Whitestone Merchants Association and
the I Love Whitestone Civic Association.
Upon presenting the award, Vallone said, “We are happy to be
coming today to Tropical Revival. I’m
here to single out all the hard work that Albert Teekasingh has done not only
for this restaurant but for I Love Whitestone and the Whitestone’s Merchants
Association as well. He is always
helping the community partnering by cooking for and getting involved with our
events.”
The citation stated the following: “Whereas a great city is
only great as those persons who give exemplary service to their communities,
whether through unique personal achievement in their professional or other
endeavors simply through a lifetime of philanthropy and community service and,
Whereas such service, which is truly the lifeblood of the
community and the city, so often goes unrecognized and unrewarded; now,
therefore be it,”
Resolved , that as a duly elected member of the City
Council, I recognize that in Albert Teekashingh In recognition of his
distinguished community service, we have an outstanding citizen, one whom is
worthy of the esteem of both our community and the great City of New York.”
Teekasingh’s sister Elizabeth was rightly on hand as she
prepares the food as well.
Appetizers of
fish cakes and a peppery shrimp were provided for the celebration.
Tropical Revival is located at 12-40
Clintonville Street.
