While the name Zabar is synonymous with smoked fish and the quintessential New York brunch, Eli Zabar envisioned a different kind of food store from his family’s West Side landmark delicatessen. Inspired by the food halls and markets of London and Paris, Eli’s has become an institution on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, directly across town from the store and home where he grew up. Best known as New York City’s pioneering gourmet food purveyor, Eli Zabar first opened New York's beloved E.A.T. in 1973. Over the last four decades, Eli's empire has grown to include his flagship market, Eli’s Market at 80th & Third Avenue; Eli’s Market at The Vinegar Factory; Eli’s Markets at Grand Central (Bread & Pastry; Farm to Market); New York's beloved E.A.T. Café; E.A.T. Gifts; Eli’s Table, and the adjacent wine shop, Eli’s List; Eli’s Bread; Eli’s Essentials, grab-and-go cafes; Eli's Gift Baskets; Eli’s Night Shift and Eli’s Bar '91 (the most recent additions to Eli's restaurants), as well as the recently re-designed e-commerce sites, www.elizabar.com and www.elizabarwine.com. Throughout his storied career, Eli has kept New Yorkers well-fed with the highest-quality, most-carefully sourced ingredients and products, along with his signature handmade breads & pastries, all with a seasonally-driven European sensibility. Most recently, Eli has been excited to share his passion and knowledge of European wines that celebrate lesser known vintners making beautiful, expressive wines, whatever their terroir, at Eli's List and on the nightly rotating wine lists at Eli's restaurants.

The Teamsters are one of North America’s largest, most diverse unions. In 1903, the Teamsters started as a merger of the two leading team driver associations. These drivers were the backbone of America’s robust economic growth, but they needed to organize to wrest their fair share from greedy corporations. Today, the Union’s task is exactly the same. The Teamsters are known as the champion of freight drivers and warehouse workers, but have organized workers in virtually every occupation imaginable, both professional and non-professional, private sector and public sector. Our 1.2 million members are public defenders in Minnesota; vegetable workers in California; sanitation workers in New York; brewers in St. Louis; newspaper workers in Seattle; construction workers in Las Vegas; zoo keepers in Pennsylvania; healthcare workers in Rhode Island; bakery workers in Maine; airline pilots, secretaries and police officers. Name the occupation and chances are we represent those workers somewhere. Teamsters stand ready to organize workers who want to bargain collectively. Once a contract is negotiated and signed, the Union works to enforce it—holding management’s feet to the fire and invoking contract grievance procedures if management chooses not to. Wages and benefits under Teamster contracts are markedly better than those of non-union employees in similar jobs. Teamster contracts are the guarantors of decent wages, fair promotion, health coverage, job security, paid time-off and retirement income. The Teamsters Union also performs vital tasks in such areas as pension management, safety & health, community outreach, governmental affairs and communications. For more than a century, the Teamsters have been a public voice for the rights and aspirations of working men and women and a key player in securing them.

In addition to the famous FrischSchoggi, its product range includes fine pralines and truffles, Italian tartufi and a host of other creations. Over the past 60 years, Läderach has repeatedly introduced impressive new chocolate ideas and revolutionized the market with innovations, such as the production of thin-walled hollow truffle shells. Its other innovations included the open sale of FrischSchoggi in its branded chocolateries, along with the innovative development of Mini Mousse. What’s more, it also introduced vegan chocolate. Elias Läderach confirmed his groundbreaking role at the World Chocolate Masters in 2018, when he showcased the company's exceptional chocolate expertise with his impressive victory.

It ensures the highest quality with premium raw materials and selected ingredients, a generous portion of passion and professional artisanal skills. Läderach prioritizes sustainability and social responsibility with the utmost importance.
