Our Community
We fell in love with a community that welcomed us with open arms. So we too opened our arms to the garden next door and started a non for profit, Jacob’s Digs NY, to support urban farming. “The garden is initially what drew us to the space, especially this block in the city that has been ignored for so long. Now they are using the space to source its ingredients in the restaurant as well as a place to teach kids about agriculture”. We were honored last year to have been recognized by Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer on March 19, 2016 for our community service delivered through our our non-profit, Jacob’s Digs NY. This work is our foundation and inspires us in all we do.
