— In celebration of bar seating returning to the city today, Bowery restaurant and bar Short Stories is renting its bar for private drinking sessions by the hour every Monday until the restaurant reopens, EV Grieve reports.
— Taco chain Tacombi will be donating 100 percent of its proceeds on Cinco de Mayo to fund its Tacombi Community Kitchen, which donates meals to New Yorkers who are food insecure, according to a restaurant representative.
