This is reality. Great restaurants forced out of business because of a civic leadership failure handling a viral pandemic. BUT on the way out the door as they shut it behind them, they are doing service work for the community. Makes me cry. Wow. Much respect. Love. Honor.

Today is 88 Lan Zhou's last day in Chinatown. 💔For the past month we've been preparing a very special goodbye: 20,000 dumplings donated to seniors in need. 🥟
This has been our biggest Gift-A-Meal campaign yet and it literally wouldn't have been possible without our community.
.
With 4 distributions that took place over 2 weeks, a total of 30 volunteers were able to reach 385 homebound seniors. For residents on Grand St. that lost gas for a month,
@patrickneversleeps personally cooked for them.
88 Lan Zhou was born in our community and it will forever rest in our community. A very special shoutout to
