The East Village Green Deli held a grand opening ceremony this past Saturday.

The grand opening ceremony reflected that the deli is operating under new ownership. Owner Rich DeSantis, a Division Avenue High School graduate, has owned and operated a variety of delis for over 35 years.

Local politicians on hand for the opening included Hempstead Town Councilman Gary Hudes, R-Levittown, State Assemblyman Joseph Saladino, R-Massapequa and State Assemblyman Tom McKevitt, R-East Meadow. School board secretary Kevin Regan was also present.

The East Village Green Deli was the winner of our Best Chicken Wings contest in February.
