Happy Birthday, Sweet Sixty! With all due apologies to Neil Sedaka, this was the song that should have been played recently as our client Joyce's Tavern celebrated its 60th birthday.

Our Certified Business Advisor, Joe Muller, attended the celebration and caught up with Joe O'Toole Jr. to congratulate them on this achievement. Joyce's Tavern remains a family-owned and operated establishment run by the O'Toole Family, where its old traditions continue today.

In today's hectic times, staying healthy can seem harder. That's why the SIEDC's Annual Health & Wellness Expo is a great resource for attendees to gather the latest health information.

Our Regional Director, Michael Anderson, recently attended the event, which featured over a dozen free medical screenings, free educational seminars and discussions on important wellness topics, fitness demonstrations, and a large Resource Fair of businesses in related fields.

It's good to find other ways to keep the doctor away than just eating an apple a day.

Our Regional Director Michael Anderson and Certified Business Advisor Joe Muller met up with State Senator Andrew J. Lanza (D-24) during his Annual Senior Resource Fair last week. The fair brought together community partners to answer questions and provide valuable free services.

Michael and Joe connected with established businesses and aspiring entrepreneurs to spread the word about the Staten Island SBDC, hosted by the College of Staten Island, and our resources.

If you couldn't make the fair, you can always reach out to us at [email protected] or call 718-982-2560.

You won't need three bites to know you have a great sandwich!

Regional Director Michael Anderson and Senior Certified Business Advisor Joe Bottega were on hand last week to celebrate our client, 3 Bites Sandwich Co., as they held a ribbon-cutting for their new Stapleton eatery. 3 Bites sources the best ingredients they can find, treats them with respect, and lets the flavors speak for themselves. No gimmicks. No shortcuts. Just honest food made by people who care.

Congrats to co-owners Rich and Benie on this tasty endeavor!

Our Regional Director Michael Anderson, Senior Certified Business Advisor Joe Bottega, and Certified Business Advisor Joe Muller took the opportunity to connect with many clients and other small businesses and nonprofits during the Staten Island Chamber of Commerce's 2026 Annual Meeting and Member Meetup last week.

We also visited with Anna Lambert, Director of Auxiliary Services Business Operations at our host campus, the College of Staten Island, as she signed businesses up for the new CSI Wavemaker Community Membership. This annual membership gives Staten Island residents discounts and early access to campus events, merchandise, tickets, parking, and more.

One of the great things about being hosted by the College of Staten Island is the collaboration we have with other departments. And that includes the students.

We were thrilled to work with several students from the Lucille and Jay Chazanoff School of Business during our Fall Into Financing Small Business Lending Event last week. The Chazanoff School is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the gold standard for business schools worldwide. And working with these students, you can see why.

Regional Director Michael Anderson spoke with many of those students about the Staten Island SBDC and the small-business landscape on Staten Island. Thank you to Student Ambassadors: Akanni Allen, Joel De La Rosa, Michael Gardella, Fariha Jawad, Aislinn Pavia, Gianna Schlagel, Elan Smolansky, Cynthia Sozzani, and Elisa Ujkashi.

Special thanks to CSI freshman and Chazanoff School of Business student Anastasia Makharadze, who served as the event photographer.
