NYC Small Business Services (SBS) Commissioner Jonnel Doris and community leaders toured small businesses in Harlem on July 20, 2021 to promote the Shop Your City campaign, a City initiative to encourage New Yorkers to support small businesses.

They provided business owners with the latest information on NYC Business Quick Start and other SBS available resources.

The tour was a missed opportunity to meet the many West-African businesses owners in the area who were closed because of Eid.

The visit started at Melba’s Restaurant on the corner of 114th Street and 8th Ave.
