Ever since opening in Lower Manhattan last December, Torrisi Bar & Restaurant has enjoyed status as the hardest reservation in town. A multitude of articles and social media posts are dedicated to helping hack your way to a table inside. Now chef Rich Torrisi and his co-owners from Major Food Group are leveraging that popularity for philanthropic purposes.
Today they announce a lasting partnership with Robin Hood, a New York City-based charity that has invested nearly $3 billion in poverty relief over the past 35 years. It’s part of an initiative known as Major Good, which initially debuted back in 2015. This relaunch is being branded as Major Good 2.0.
