New LaGuardia Store Only Sells Products Made in New York State

On December 19th, Governor Cuomo celebrated the opening of a Taste NY shop at LaGuardia Airport. Located next to the Delta Sky Club in Terminal C, the store sells a wide array of wines, spirits, ciders, beers, chutney, jams, sauces, pickles and other products that have one thing in common: they were made in New York State, from the Finger Lakes to Long Island. Taste NY is not a pop up, and the shop will be jointly operated by Delta, Brooklyn Oenology Winery and the airport’s concessionaire, OTG.

Part of an initiative by Governor Andrew Cuomo to promote state food and beverages to consumers around the world, there are also Taste NY stores at John F. Kennedy Airport, McArthur Airport in Islip, Long Island and a display at Buffalo-Niagara Airport. Other Taste NY stores are scheduled to open in 2014 in New York airports, train stations, and transportation hubs. “More than 25 million people passed through LaGuardia in 2012,” stated Lieutenant Governor Robert J. Duffy at the ribbon-cutting on Thursday. “That’s a massive audience for the great products of Taste New York.” Two more photos of the event after the jump.
