Helping NY-area farms devastated by the hurricane

On September 25, 2011, participating New York City restaurants will donate up to 10% of sales to aid local farmers that have been hard hit by Hurricane Irene. The funds will go directly to GrowNYC and Just Food, who will distribute them to area farms.

Dine Out Irene is organized by Gabriella Gershenson, a New York City food writer, along with Rachel Wharton (Edible Manhattan and Edible Brooklyn), Robert Lavalva (New Amsterdam Market), Adam Sachs, Kat Kinsman, and help from some friends.*
