The Golden Gate is a historic second generation family business founded in 1939 that is owned and run by WWII veteran John Cortese.
John Cortese's father started the Golden Gate as a fruit and vegetable cart on the streets of Brooklyn in 1939. It has been run by John Cortese ever since, with the help of his son and daughter, as a storefront in the Marine Park section of Brooklyn. Come get your produce picked the old-fashioned way!
