We came across a recent article in the New York Times (full article available here: http://dld.bz/caF3R).  This article discusses how a few bars opening across the United States (and beyond) plan to donate all profits to charity permanently.  The article did not mention any bars in the five boroughs, though we hope this idea gains momentum and that such bars are able to keep their word.  As the NY times articles mentions, it’s hard enough running a profitable business in the food/beverage industry, it’s probably even harder when profits cannot be reinvested back into the business.  Here’s hoping that they succeed and that the model is copied numerous times over in the five boroughs.  We can imagine a day when we do a NYC bar crawl where we hit many such pubs!
