BRABENEC PRESENTS CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION TO

EMPIRE DINER, NEW OWNER DAVE WENGER

Assemblyman Karl Brabenec (R,C,I-Deerpark) presents a Certificate of Recognition Empire Diners new
owner David Wenger

Assemblyman Karl Brabenec (R,C,I-Deerpark) recently met with the new owner of
Empire Diner in Monroe, which recently reopened following renovations and a change in
ownership. The eatery offers a wide array of American cuisine as well as a gluten-free menu and
all-day breakfast.
I am excited to see that Empire Diner has reopened following some renovations and I
look forward to its success and community presence as a staple of the Hudson Valley, Brabenec
said. I know how important small businesses like this are to our local economy, and it is crucial
that we focus on legislation that allows them to grow without Albany interfering. I am eager to
work with Empire Diner and its new owner, Dave Wenger, in the future and wish him and his
team the best of luck.
