Danny Meyer’s heart has always been in the right place. Ever since his first restaurant, Union Square Cafe, opened, Meyer and his organization — Union Square Hospitality Group — has made a priority of contributing to the world beyond the restaurant’s walls.
Now in the face of a special challenge, the group is doing its part once again.
Throughout the month of September, Union Square Hospitality Group will be raising donations to support the Houston Food Bank’s heroic response to Hurricane Harvey. In partnership with Texas-based Tito’s Handmade Vodka, each restaurant in the Meyer firmament is featuring its own take on a “Tito’s Texas Relief” cocktail.
$10 from each drink sold will benefit the Houston Food Bank’s ongoing efforts to provide food, water, and supplies to residents of southeast Texas who have been impacted by Harvey’s catastrophic damage in the region.

- Blue Smoke: Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Aperol, Lemon and Big Red.
