Morning News releases T-Shirt to support local restaurants

Nationwide, restaurants are closing at an expeditious rate due to COVID-19. According to a recent Eater New York article, more than 1000 restaurants have closed due to indoor dining closures because of the never-ending coronavirus pandemic. Many restaurants sought financial refuge during the summer months when outdoor dining was a massive hit among patrons who experienced quarantine fatigue. However, due to weather changes associated with winter and a complete shutdown of indoor dining in many major cities, Morning News strives to aid struggling owners with the “Support Your Local Restaurants” T-shirt.

Morning News was created by Meyer Tawil and his sister Flora Harari because of their mutual love of style, family, and “the good life.” Influenced by corner nostalgia, the brand will always inspire the relaxed mood of neighborhood gatherings, reading the morning newspaper, grabbing a coffee, and living a relaxed life. 

The idea behind the T-shirt is that the more people wearing it will encourage fellow Americans to order from local restaurants, which may help keep establishments open. Moreover, a percentage of proceeds will be donated to ROAR, which will disperse the funds to the restaurant owners and employees. This month-long campaign aims to raise 15,000 dollars in the spirit of supporting communities when in need.
