Manhattan Chamber of Commerce Announces 2019 Honorees

Awards Recognize Business Leaders and Companies for “Above and Beyond” Achievements

NEW YORK – October 11, 2019 – The Manhattan Chamber of Commerce, a powerful community of business leaders and entrepreneurs, announced the companies and entrepreneurs that will be honored at its annual “Best in the Business Awards” gala on Monday, November 4, 2019 at Cipriani 25 Broadway. These coveted awards highlight the “above and beyond” achievements of businesses with a significant presence in New York City – the Business Capital of the World – underscoring their dominant position in today’s marketplace.

The Business of the Year Award will be presented to Hudson Yards – a neighborhood-defining transformative real estate development led by Related Companies that will be an economic driver in New York City for years to come – for its tremendous success and outstanding contributions to New York City.

Zola, a wedding planning and registry platform led by Chairman Kevin Ryan and two dynamic founders, Shan Lyn Ma and Nobu Nakaguchi, will receive the Most Innovative Award for developing a unique and disruptive portfolio of products, sparking a competitive response in the marketplace, and exceeding market expectations.

The Company to Watch Award will be presented to b michael AMERICA Global for its rapid growth and evolution within the New York City market, and its potential to make amazing strides in the near future. This year, b michael AMERICA Global became the first African-American luxury fashion brand to dress an Oscar Award recipient, Ms. Cicely Tyson, who will also present the co-founders, designer B Michael and Mark-Anthony Edwards, Chairman and CEO, with the award.

The Small Business, Large Impact Award will be presented to Melba’s Restaurant, a staple in Harlem that provided free meals to federal workers who were furloughed during the budget shutdown and which serves as a “community square” to host forums between elected officials and community residents and business owners. This year, founder Melba Wilson became the first female Board President of the NYC Hospitality Alliance and is an active voice for bars, restaurants and hotels in the policy arena.

“This year our Chamber honors four incredible recipients that have epitomized entrepreneurial innovation and whose successes are inextricably linked to New York City’s overall success,” said Jessica Walker, President and CEO of the Manhattan Chamber. “Each honoree had an enviable and illustrious 2019, and they truly represent the best of the best in New York.”
