"Gastropub-like fare had been missing in Ozone Park, so Culinary Institute of America graduate Andrew Basdeo, and his business partner, Kimberly Mohan — both with lifelong connections to the neighborhood — sought to change that with the 2017 opening of The Local Press. Here, all the meats are sourced from Pat La Frieda, chicken and waffles are paired with honey butter, and six kinds of fries — including truffle parmesan, cajun, and sweet potato — come with a choice of nine sauces like truffle aioli and chipotle mayo." - Caroline Shin
