State Senator Alessandra Biaggi (D-Bronx/Westchester) said, “Buunni is an integral part of District 34 – my district office is just down the hill, and my team has made many trips to the shop to pick up coffee and treats to get us through our long work days. But far beyond their amazing coffee and food, Buunni has nourished the collective consciousness of Riverdale. The pandemic has financially devastated so many of the small businesses at the heart of our communities, and it is crucial that we enact measures for market and financial relief, including a commercial vacancy tax. I remain committed to working with my colleagues in the State Senate to rebuild our local economies, and support the small businesses, like Buunni Coffee, that make District 34 so special.”
