‘Eats in Queens Restaurant Month’ is organized by Queens Together, the only nonprofit created to connect Queens restaurants and food businesses with resources, promotion and community.
“We saw an opportunity to promote the vibrant Queens culinary scene, raise funds for vital food relief and reward donors”, said Jonathan Forgash, executive director of Queens Together. “We can all do good, eat good and feel good during this first-of-its-kind Queens donate and dine program in March.”
