TNMA news letter 1109 - Throggs Neck Merchant Association

Things are definitely tough out there when it comes to making
money in today's tough economic times. Here are 10 key tips to
making it happen:
1. Discipline - You must stay disciplined and keep to your
agenda. Complete your daily activities even when it seems
impossible to do so sometimes.
2. Time Management - It is not the amount of time you put into
your daily activities, but rather, how efficiently you use your
time. Allocate and schedule you time according to your tasks.
3. Internet - You have to be aware of what your competitors are
doing and try to stay one step ahead. Using the internet is one
way to research your competition, find ways to improve your
business and reach more potential customers.
4. Stay Focused - Have goals and a plan on how to achieve your
goals. Regularly review your goals and focus on the
achievement of these goals.

TNMA Open House
by Twoscots at Citysearch
This restaurant is nothing short of Wonderful. Went there last week
for their lunch special. The salad was delicious as was the soup
and the lunch entree was really really excellent and to top it off
coffee and a canolli are included with the lunch. My husband and I
have been there many times for dinner which is excellent. They
make a really good Martini which is my husband's choice and I like
the wine - I switch back and forth between red and white and I have
never been disappointed. I have several friends from Westchester
come to the Bronx to enjoy this restaurant. Owner and staff are
excellent and we highly recommend. - Enjoy
Do you own or manage a business? If you do, you are invited to
the TNMA Open House, where you will learn about the TNMA and
how it can benefit you and your business.
This is your chance to meet and interact with the TNMA Board of
Directors and fellow merchants (members and non-members) from
your community. Find out what other merchants would like to see
happen in Throggs Neck. It’s probably not much different from what
you want.
The TNMA has earned a reputation as one of, if not the strongest,
merchant associations in The Bronx. We regularly have the ears of
the local elected officials when we have issues that need to be
raised. Why? We believe that it is due to our “Strength in Numbers”.
“Strength in numbers” is not just a phase. We believe that without the
support of our fellow businessmen and women, we would be
impotent.
If that doesn’t entice you, maybe some free snacks will... :)

I have been going there since i had hair....I had my first hair cut
there by Tara. Now I am old enough to go where i choose and i still
choose Guys &Dolls as do most of my friends.The staff is always
going away to hair shows and come back with the latest trends,so I
get the latest styles before I see or hear about it in magazines. I had
pee-a-boo highlights 3 years ago, and now the girls at work are
getting them.I love to get my hair done and then show them whats
going to be in style soon.
I never hear them gossiping,they are usually talking with you about
how to maintain your color and style. Try it out and tell them Roe
sent you.

The Wicked Wolf blossomed from an idea to create a
neighborhood restaurant that offers great food and friendly
service. Inside, the warmth created by the rich Mahogany wood
and raw brick walls leaves you feeling relaxed in its casual
elegance. Combined with friendly, efficient service, the Wicked
Wolf makes for a unique dining experience in Throggs Neck.
If you haven't been to the Wicked Wolf lately, you probably
don't know about the changes that have taken place. Outdoor
seating surrounded by beautiful flora gives you a sense of being on
a mini vacation from the everyday stresses of life.
When asked why the outdoor seating was put in place, the
The Mall at Scott Place is now open. Located at 3602 East
Tremont Ave, the shops consist of a Giabella's Jewelry, Vincenzo's
Hairstylists, Carmine's Sweet Shoppe, and the Scott Place Café.
Along the side of the building, there is an outdoor patio seating area
with tables and umbrellas for warmer months. This unique (for
Throggs Neck) set-up is a welcome addition to the neighborhood.
In addition to the shops, there is also a large lounge in the back
where people can relax, catch a game on the flat screen TV, have a
beverage or a pastry. It will be open until at least 12:00 noon on
weekdays and 1:00 AM Fridays and Saturdays so people can stop by
after eating at one of the many restaurants in the neighborhood.

manager, Kathy Gallagher, stated that The Wicked Wolf was
looking for a way to give back to their customers and the Throggs
Neck community. The outdoor seating not only beautifies the
restaurant, but also makes the local area look more attractive and
may be an incentive for people to walk around Throggs Neck more
