#EatDownTipUp

Dear New York,

Hurricane Sandy reminded us of the bonds we share as neighbors and as a community. We're all looking for ways to support our fellow New Yorkers in this time of need. #EatDownTipUp is a simple way to make someone's day and make a positive impact.

Here’s how to get involved:

Eat downtown.
Tip double.
Share #EatDownTipUp with your friends.

The Cardinal

We lost $1-2k of food and supply inventory. All of our food in our fridge and freezers were gone. We weren’t open from Monday-Friday this past week, so we lost the revenue and tips from business being closed.

Edi & the Wolf

We lost everything. Our entire basement was flooded to the ceiling. We lost all of food inventory, our dried and paper goods, 4 wine coolers, and beer system. All of my staff didn’t work for 5 days.

Virage Mediterranean Bar & Grille

We lost all of our inventory—dairy, meat, veggies. We came back this past Wednesday and gave away our inventory that was still safe to eat to the landlord and neighbors.

Northern Spy Food Co.

We lost all of our inventory—our proteins, veggies, everything. Our chefs made it to our restaurant (some biking from Williamsburg) to cook in the dark for the neighborhood. We held a soup kitchen on the street.
