Allendale mayor proclaims Veterans Day, recognizes Allendale Bar & Grill’s 90th anniversary
Summary
Mayor Amy Wazinski read proclamations honoring Veterans Day (Nov. 11, 2025) and the Allendale Bar & Grill’s 90th anniversary, highlighting the Connolly/Kunish family’s multigenerational ownership and the restaurant’s role in town life.
Mayor Amy Wazinski read a proclamation designating Nov. 11, 2025, as Veterans Day in Allendale and urged residents to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies and expressions of gratitude for veterans’ service. "I, Amy Wazinski, the mayor of Allendale ... do officially proclaim 11/11/2025 as Veterans Day in Allendale, New Jersey," she said.
Later in the meeting the mayor read a second proclamation recognizing the 90th anniversary of the Allendale Bar & Grill, tracing its history to the Allendale Hotel and honoring the Connolly and Kunish families for maintaining the business across generations. The proclamation noted the restaurant’s longstanding role in community life and cited a recent Restaurateur of the Year award for the family.
Why it matters: The proclamations formally recognize community service and heritage—Veterans Day observance acknowledges local veterans, while the Bar & Grill proclamation highlights a multigenerational local business that government officials say is woven into Allendale’s civic life.
The proclamations were read and recognized during the presentations portion of the meeting; no council action was required.
