Queens Chamber Businesses of the Week
Dear Friends of the Queens Chamber of Commerce;
After working hard from the confines of our home offices and fielding so many calls from all over Queens, the Staff of the Queen Chamber decided to choose 5 businesses to feature each week who are all doing great things during this surreal time. If you know of a business going above and beyond that you want considered, kindly email us at info@queenschamber.org for consideration. Thanks!
Bourbon Street – Bourbon Street in Bayside is known as a go to place for a good time and good eats. They’ve also been known to support the community and local charities, and they’ve really upped their game during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Mark Boccia (partner/proprietor at Bourbon Street) created the “Food for the Fearless” Go Fund Me Page which has raised over $77K to date, and they have delivered hundreds of meals to Queens hospital staff and even to some hospitals in Long Island and Manhattan. If you’d like to help them reach their $100k goal, head to https://www.gofundme.com/f/food-for-the-fearless to make a donation.
More info on Bourbon Street, including pick up and delivery options, can be found at bourbonstreetny.com
Queensboro FC – Queensboro FC begins play in 2021 in the USL Championship, but before they play their first soccer match they’re already finding ways to help their community.
They’ve teamed up with Bourbon Street for their “Food for the Fearless” campaign and have been sponsoring meals for those working in the frontlines of the pandemic for weeks.

United Public Adjusters and Appraisers – United maximizes claims by preparing, filing, documenting, appraising, estimating, negotiating and managing the payment of the claim. They work for you, not the insurance company.

Beauty Boutique - Gerdie Rene Gordon, owner of the Beauty Boutique in Cambria Heights, may no longer be able to see clients in person, but she’s found innovative ways to continue to serve them. She’s now selling customized “At home care and maintenance kits” that include all the hair care products they need and as a special bonus she’s also providing free online videos, called Tress Talks, to help with their technique.
Gordon’s message is “It’s more than just having the revenue, it’s being able to provide something that’s needed.”
