Queens, NY – July 24, 2025 – Neir’s Tavern, a historic New York City staple since 1829, today announced that Nancy Aquila has joined the Neir’s Ambassadors Club, a growing coalition of community supporters dedicated to helping the iconic tavern reach its 200th anniversary in 2029 and beyond.

As a dues-paying member, Aquila becomes part of a special group that is actively investing in the future of one of the oldest bars in America. In addition to supporting the tavern’s preservation, she is using her ambassadorship to raise visibility for ovarian cancer awareness — a cause deeply important to her.

“Together, we raise our voices for those who can’t — and toast to strength, survival, and sisterhood,” said Aquila.

According to the World Health Organization, more than 300,000 women worldwide are diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year, often in later stages. Through her involvement, Aquila is merging local history with global advocacy — reminding us that community spaces like Neir’s can also be platforms for meaningful change.

Founded in 1829, Neir’s Tavern has long been a cornerstone of the Woodhaven, Queens community and is widely regarded as one of New York City’s most treasured historical landmarks. Through the Ambassadors Club, the tavern is building a network of champions committed to keeping its doors open and its story alive.

“Nancy is an example of how one person can inspire others — not only to support a landmark, but to raise awareness for something much bigger than ourselves,” said Loycent Gordon, Owner of Neir’s Tavern. “Her voice helps strengthen ours.”

The Neir’s Ambassadors Club offers supporters a meaningful way to contribute to the tavern’s preservation while receiving exclusive perks, recognition, and opportunities to engage in its ongoing story.
