Thursday July 2nd: Breakfast for Dinner - International Edition

This Thursday we are opening for breakfast...breakfast for dinner. Carlo Espinas of Camino and formerly chef of Piccino will collaborate with us to present a menu of breakfast foods from around the world.

Profits will go to the Delancey Street Restaurant, part of the country's largest self-help organization for former substance abusers, ex-convicts, homeless and others who have hit bottom. Started in 1971 with 4 people in a San Francisco apartment, Delancey Street has served many thousands of residents, who stay for a minimum of 2 years and receive a high school equivalency degree (GED), as well as training in 3 different marketable skills. Beyond academic and vocational training, residents learn important values, and the social and interpersonal skills that allow them to live successfully in mainstream society.
