ASTORIA, QUEENS Vincent Licata and his brother, Jack, opened the restaurant Burger Village in Astoria just before the state tightened restrictions on businesses like theirs, faced with a rising wintertime wave of coronavirus cases.
Three weeks in, the brothers have already laid off half their staff. Two people are working the kitchen, and they have just one server.
A hint of hope came Monday in the form of Queens Borough President Donovan Richards and Commissioner Jonnel Doris of the NYC Department of Small Business Services, who visited businesses along Steinway Street and Broadway to spread the word about a set of new grants and no-interest loans the city introduced in late November.
