Yesterday, State Sen. Brian Kavanagh presented B&H Dairy with the Historic Business Preservation Registry award. 

About the Registry: 
The Historic Business Preservation Registry highlights New York businesses that have been in operation for at least 50 years and have contributed to their community's history. 

At a time when many businesses face new and unique challenges, this registry allows us to recognize and honor historic businesses while providing educational and promotional assistance to ensure their continued viability and success. 
B&H Dairy, opened in 1938 by Abe Bergson and Jack Heller, is one of NYC's oldest kosher dairy lunch counters and looks much the same as it did generations ago.

Husband-and-wife Fawzy Abdelwahed and Aleksandra "Ola" Abdelwahed became the owners in 2003.

    B&H was the first restaurant I went to after moving here in 1982. Their split pea soup and challah remain my favorite comfort food.

    Good for them! I was in there last week for a tuna melt and their cold cucumber soup, which is to die for.
