History
Norma's was named after the grandmother of one of the two owners who passed away a year before the business opened. It is a small owner operated business that is very much connected to the diverse community of Ridgewood, Queens. Its owners, Denise Plowman and Crystal River Williams, are both culinary school graduates who met while working for Whole Foods Market. They see Norma's as their chance to express themselves creatively and live out their dream. Both women are native Californians but both bring different yet complimentary perspectives to the table. It is the chemistry between the two that create Norma's unique menu and warm friendly atmosphere.
