City Winery, founded in New York City in 2008 by Michael Dorf, strives to deliver the highest-end combined culinary and cultural experience to urban wine enthusiasts. City Winery boasts locations in New York, Chicago, Nashville, Atlanta, Boston, Washington DC, and Philadelphia, with a forthcoming Hudson Valley location scheduled to open in 2020. There are also four other concepts run by the company: City Vineyard at Pier 26, City Winery at Rockefeller Center, City Winery Chicago at the Riverwalk, City Winery Greenway in Boston.

Restaurants and bars are the heartbeats of New York City. When the government shut down these restaurants and bars to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, about half a million people suddenly found themselves out of work, with no ability to earn a living from home. With paychecks and tips lost overnight, service workers don't know how they will cover next month’s rent, put food on the table, or pay for medicine, school, child care, and more. 

Relief Opportunities for All Restaurants (ROAR) was founded by New York hospitality professionals to support restaurant workers suffering from financial hardship, rescue small businesses from the devastating effects of COVID-19, and enact a sustainable future for the hospitality industry in New York. Working on policy and advocacy work with city and state government officials, alongside key fundraising efforts, ROAR is fundamentally working to give restaurants in our state a fighting chance. ROAR and Robin Hood, New York City’s largest and most-effective poverty-fighting organization, have partnered with the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation (NRAEF) to provide direct cash assistance to restaurant workers in New York City facing unprecedented economic hardship as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
