MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay\ntribute to the Fortunato Brothers Cafe, which is celebrating its 40th\nanniversary as a neighborhood institution in Brooklyn's Williamsburg.\nWhat started as an idea by three brothers from Italy to make and sell\nauthentic Italian desserts has become a landmark and a point of pride\nfor New York's vibrant Italian community.\n  Opened in October 1976 by Salvatore, Michael, and Mario Fortunato in\nWilliamsburg, the Fortunato Brothers Cafe is known for its famous\npastries with displays full of cannoli, marzipan, tarts, gelato, and\ncakes of all shapes and sizes. Using the same original recipes since\nits opening, Fortunato Brothers Cafe's sweets are just as delicious now\nas they were in 1976.\n  The bakery's continued success serves as a model of excellence for\nother small businesses and speaks to the strength of New York's Italian\ncommunity. In a city crowded with Italian restaurants and eateries,\nFortunato Brothers Cafe continues to shine due to the high standard its\nowners have set for it.\n  The Fortunato Brothers Cafe is a symbol of the resilience and\nliveliness of Italian heritage. Although Williamsburg has changed a lot\nover the years, the bakery's recipes and atmosphere are timeless.\nFortunato Brothers Cafe's widespread popularity reflects the profound\npositive impact Italian culture has had on New York.\n  Fortunato Brothers Cafe continues to be a welcoming and familiar\nplace for neighbors to come together over a cup of coffee or a pastry.\nStill owned by Salvatore, Michael, and Mario, the bakery remains\ndedicated to serving the community with delicious baked goods and a\nwelcoming environment.\n  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in celebrating the\nextraordinary achievements of the Fortunato Brothers Cafe as it\ncelebrates 40 years of serving tasty delicacies in North Brooklyn."]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2016-12-23-pt1-PgE1738-3"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 4.401385085657239, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
