FOOD
In 1927 Samuel Brenman opened his meat market in
Gerritsen Beach, South Brooklyn. He insisted on using
only the finest cuts of hand-selected meat, a tradition that
carries on to this day! Today, our market features a
full-service deli with homemade salads and hot entrees
prepared daily where everything is fresh and
made-to-order. Our professional butchers provide the
utmost in service, preparing cuts of all natural meat,
poultry, and pork at your request.
The market underwent a complete renovation in 2008,
doubling in size to better serve the growing needs of our
customers. For over 80 years, Brenman’s Meat Market
has consistently provided the utmost personal service and
the finest quality product. Thank you for voting us the

JUNIORS CHEESECAKE

When you talk about New York City institutions,
you can’t miss Junior’s Cheesecake. The iconic
restaurant was founded in 1950, and is still an
essential part of the Brooklyn community. They
have several locations throughout the city, but it’s
in Brooklyn where the cheesy-goodness fi rst took
place. Although the diner continues to add special
items to their menu — they serve breakfast, lunch
and dinner — it is their original New York style
cheesecake that is ingrained in the minds and hearts
of everyone that’s had the opportunity to taste it.
The diner’s old-school New York ambience offers
customers the chance to go back in time as they eat
their slice of cheesecake while getting taken care
of with Junior’s noteworthy 100 percent customer
satisfaction.
BEST CHOCOLATIER
JOMART CHOCOLATES
2917 Ave R, Brooklyn
(718) 375-1277
The key to world peace is chocolate,” Michael Rogak
writes about JoMart’s history. The long-standing
chocolate shop was founded by his father, Martin,
in 1946, after he returned from World War II. Back
then, Martin knew that chocolate and all the other
sweet things are what makes life worth living. So
he created a candy shop in Brooklyn, where they
sold hand crafted chocolates and candies — quickly
becoming a favorite in the community. Decades
later, JoMart is still thriving and celebrated for
its delicious cocoa treats. No matter what you’re
looking for — whether it is hand-dipped chocolate
bark or truffl es, their specialty brittles and crunch,
or their variety of chocolate bars — the shop is sure
to have it in store for you.
