Haverstraw – Senator James Skoufis (Hudson Valley) presented Union Restaurant located in Haverstraw with the State Senate’s highest business honor, the Empire Business Award. The Empire Business Award is given to exceptional businesses that go out of their way to give back to the community.

Union Restaurant is a staple in the Haverstraw community as both a center of the community and a pillar of a small business that gives back. They started the “WeCare Foundation” which partners with many local charities to support events hosted at the restaurant.

The restaurant was founded by Jose David Martinez, a self-taught chef, and Paulo Feteira. Both immigrants to this country, they built their business from the ground up, now operating one of the most popular restaurants in Rockland County, and is regularly named one of the top restaurants in the Hudson Valley.

Senator Skoufis said, “Union’s success not only deserves recognition in its own right, but Mr. Martinez and Mr. Feteira both deserve recognition for how they’ve have used that success to give back to the community. Through the We Care foundation and their regular work with different non-profits across the town and Rockland county, these owners have truly shown what it means to be a business with heart.”
