Chamber of Commerce to Honor Douglaston Market Owner

Celebration for Diego Von Schmeling Will Be Held at Strawberry's Sports Grill on June 27

The Douglaston Chamber of Commerce will pay homage to Diego von Schmeling, owner of the recently-closed Douglaston Market, during a celebration later this month at Strawberry's Sports Grill.

The market, located on 235th Street near Douglaston's Long Island Rail Road station, closed its doors earlier this month. For years, the eatery had been a hot spot for morning coffee and lunch for community residents.

The event to honor von Schmeling will be held at 6:30 p.m. on June 27 at Strawberry's, located at 42-15 235th St.
