Discover the Flavors: St. Lawrence County Chamber invites food influencer
ST. LAWRENCE COUNTY, N.Y. (WWTI) – The St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce welcomed restaurant and food enthusiast Anothony Tringale of 'Eat Local New York' for two private culinary tours that highlighted some of the county's independent restaurants.
The trips, organized as part of the Chamber's ongoing destination development initiatives, aimed to raise awareness of the region's dining alternatives. These activities aim to attract more consumers to local eateries, thereby supporting a thriving food scene in the County's rural towns.

The Chamber's tourism team financed and created the itineraries, which Tringale around the county's locally owned restaurants.
'Bringing Anthony here was an ideal way for us to promote our local restaurant scene in an authentic way,' said Tiffani Amo, Director of Tourism for the St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce. 'The food itineraries we've published online are important marketing tools for our more traditional tourism promotion efforts, but this type of social media exposure and engagement is something that resonates with both visitors and residents in a completely different way. It's also a unique and exciting form of promotion for local business owners, which is important because we want them to be engaged and invested in how they're represented through a tourism lens.'
