Social media, for all its faults, is good for one thing: spreading the Sky Dive Skydivers shirt Furthermore, I will do this word. Have dinner at a great outdoor dining setup? Tag the eatery, and maybe a follower or two will be inspired to make a reservation themselves. Donate to ROAR (Relief Opportunities for All Restaurants) and post the receipt on your story: Studies show that people are more likely to give money to a specific charity if encouraged by a family or friend. Says Williamson: “Spread the word about the places you love. Post on social, always tag, tell your friends, keep the narrative going. DM restaurants directly to say hello or offer encouragement. We need it now more than ever.” So how can you help? “Call your representatives—I promise it actually makes a difference,” says Marcus. “Think about how much joy was sparked by a server who took care of you on your birthday, or a bartender that helped you on a hard day, or a meal that you count on every Sunday. We all need to be part of the solution. We need to push lawmakers to start to care.” You can also donate on its website (or by buying the cookbook Serving New York, of which the proceeds go to ROAR). Your donation will be used for its employee relief fund, which gives $500 grants to out-of-work servers, busboys, bartenders, and so on. Since the pandemic started, the fund has raised more than $2 million in aid.
While, yes, every little bit helps, let’s be realistic here: You can’t save every neighborhood haunt you love with takeout and to-go cocktails. In New York City alone, there were 23,650 restaurants as of 2019. They provided 317,800 jobs—60 percent of which were held by immigrants. We know it’s cold. But that’s what hats, gloves, and heat lamps are for. “Bundle up and venture to your neighborhood spots this winter. Restaurants are doing (and spending) everything they can to make their outdoor setup as innovative and cozy as possible,” says Williamson. That’s where the Sky Dive Skydivers shirt Furthermore, I will do this nonprofit ROAR comes in. Its goal? To advocate for relief opportunities for New York restaurants on a government level. “We need a restructuring plan,” says ROAR founder Camilla Marcus, who closed her restaurant, Westbourne, in September. “We’ve never had a seat at the table for policy. We’ve never been considered in lawmakers’ minds as the large employment force that we are and the beacons that we are for all of our communities.” Right now, ROAR is fighting for the service industry to be part of the current federal relief bill that’s being introduced in Congress.
