Restaurants and bars are the heartbeat of every city and the cornerstone for tourism. With paychecks and tips lost overnight, service workers won't know how they will cover next month’s rent, put food on the table, or pay for medicine, school, child care and more. Our local favorite spots are in danger of shutting down.

5A, an event management company with over 30 years of service in the travel and tourism industry, has launched a fundraiser to help restaurants and their workers. Show your support by purchasing a newly designed mask. Each purchase will help collect net proceeds to help charities Robin Hood/ROAR and the Independent Restaurant Coalition, which are providing assistance to restaurants, bars and restaurant workers in NYC and nationwide.​
