STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. With Memorial Day a few weeks away, Army veteran Lee Covino said it felt good to be back at the The Staaten for United Staten Island Veterans Organization (USIVO) functions. He and the group wanted to make sure the West Brighton catering hall felt the love and they honored its LiGreci family owners with a plaque at its Night of Honor earlier this week.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. With no parties, catering hall owner Jack LiGreci of The Staaten has been walking a lot, hitting Clove Lakes Park pretty much daily for a four-to-five-mile stroll. But his routine should be changing this week, as restrictions on catering ease up.
At this moment banquet facilities can hold up to 35% capacity or 150 guests and, come Friday, up to 50% capacity. There are mandatory temp checks in place, contact tracing and crowd controls.
