Tarpon Springs Resident Featured In NY Media

James C. Metzger appears on covers of Long Island Press, Hampton's Social Life Magazine.

The holiday season has provided Tarpon Springs resident James C. Metzger with a number of media gifts that have placed the spotlight on his Long Island insurance brokerage firm The Whitmore Group, the company’s hospitality services and his personal commitment to support the communities where his employees and clients live and work.

Metzger and the company’s hospitality practice are featured on the cover of the December issue of Social Life Magazine. The magazine is the premier luxury publication for the Hamptons for those who summer on the East End of Long Island yet remain engaged year round in the business and social scenes of New York City.

Several outstanding Manhattan restaurants—Assante, Bobby Van’s Grill, BV’s Burgers, 15 East, Sotto Sopra and Tocqueville—represented by The Whitmore Group also enjoyed the holiday spotlight. Click here for the article and scroll to page 66.
