Assemblyman Phil Ramos (D-Brentwood) announced the Assembly passed a resolution he sponsored to recognize Aug. 24-25 as Peruvian Gastronomy Weekend in New York State (K.545).

“Long Island is home to diverse cultures and communities that make our region and state more vibrant,” Ramos said. “It’s an honor to recognize the cultural significance of the Peruvian community and the impressive culinary legacy they have had on New York State.”

This is the second consecutive year that Ramos has authored and helped pass a resolution celebrating Peruvian Gastronomy Weekend in New York.
