Donate



Hello,

Many of you are probably wondering why I am requesting donations. I figured that I would explain myself here. I am asking for donations for 2 things.

  1. I need assistance with paying for the domain and hosting of this site.
  2. Any donations that might happen to be left over at the end of the month will be transferred to a separate account to go towards a restaurant or catering business.

You read that correctly. My restaurant or catering business, I plan on trying to get things off the ground by 2020. The pension for my day job as a Doorman will be vested by Nov. 2019 and I plan on trying to open my get my business going by no later than fall of 2020.

If I open a restaurant, I already know what I plan on calling it. The concept will be no menu to read from. I will have a set price per person. The set price will include all appetizers, your choice of entrée, and dessert. For those that are curious, I am dedicating the restaurant to my grandmother. It will be called "Pina’s Italian Bistro".

If I decide on catering, I plan on starting out only in Manhattan, Queens, and Long Island. I may expand further, later on, however, I feel those are the best areas to start out with.
