LEARN ABOUT OUR

150 YEARS OF SERVING NYC

Established in 1869

BBZ Limousine and Livery Service, Inc. is one of the New York metropolitan area’s oldest and largest transportation and limousine services.

OUR HISTORY

BBZ Limousine & Livery Service was founded in 1869 as Berkemeyer Livery in New Milford, N.J., by veterinarian Dr. Irving Berkemeyer. After his son joined the firm, the company began adding cars to its business in the early 1900s. Throughout the 20th century, the company thrived as a well-respected funeral car service, while also breeding notable racehorses.


In 1970, the company, then called Berkemeyer Limousine, was sold to longtime employee Nicholas Manoy. The company remained prosperous throughout the decades and has successfully transitioned into a full-service luxury ground transportation provider.
