Queens, New York native Katrina Schultz Richter opened Good Neighbor Queens—a grab-and-go food and sundries shop located inside the Falchi Building in the borough’s Long Island City neighborhood—in 2015. A hospitality veteran, Schultz Richter drew on years of industry experience in the city, including at Thomas Keller’s Per Se and as the founder of Queens County Market.
Committed to elevating local makers—from food purveyors to artists and designers, she and her husband, Alexander Richter (who is also a professional photographer) operate as an “all-hands-on-deck” team, she says, partnering on the daily operation of the market and its ever-increasing online presence.
