In what is sure to be the first of many food and drink industry fundraisers, bars and restaurants in New York, Philadelphia, Washington D.C. and Las Vegas are banding together on September 12 to aid the thousands of hospitality workers unemployed due to Hurricane Katrina. The “Save New Orleans Cocktail Hour” event from 5-7 pm will 100% benefit those bar and restaurant employees out of work in New Orleans and surrounding areas. They have also set-up a donation link for others outside of those cities to support the cause.
