Hurricane Sandy - Where New York and New Jersey Locals are Eating Since the Super Storm
As the holiday season quickly approaches, there are still many people displaced in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. In an effort to do their part to aid their neighbors, dozens of restaurants in the New York and New Jersey are donating a portion of their proceeds to Hurricane Sandy Relief. Visit one of these eateries and don’t forget to be generous when tipping the servers and bartenders. Many of these eateries have some great dining and meals prepared by graduates of several schools for culinary arts! Even cooking schools are helping donate proceeds to the victims. Enjoy!
The restaurants of ESquared Hospitality: BLT Burger, BLT Fish, BLT Bar & Grill and Casa Nonna are giving five percent of sales to relief. Customers can drop off donations for hurricane victims and grab a bit to eat while they are there.

The atmosphere at all of their restaurants is light, stylish and cozy and the food delicious and straight from some of the top school for culinary arts classes.
Il Buco is a charming little restaurant off the cobblestone on Bond Street. What was once an antique store has become one of the most sought after restaurants in New York.
