HarborLAB thanks Anable Basin Bar and Grill for kindly allowing us to launch from its dock for our events, especially tomorrow night’s “Sun Voyage” to benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Owner Veso Buntic has a long history of public service and promoting safe and fun access to the waterfront and waterways. He founded “Manhattan Beach” on Pier 25 in Tribeca in the 1990s, pioneering the vitality now inherited and grown by the Hudson River Park. He also provided the boat storage in Astoria that allowed HarborLAB Founder Erik Baard to bring walk-up public paddling to Hallets Cove in 2005. He unfailingly hosts community groups, like NYC Water Trail Association and Green Shores NYC, for gatherings. More recently, he gave dockage to the Mars Ocean Odyssey.

Much gratitude to Anable Basin Bar and Grill and Veso. We hope you support his business and other community-spirited LIC businesses that are helping our local economy and volunteer groups thrive through these challenging times. Come down for a meal and drinks!
