Ridgewood NJ, The Daily Treat had to close their doors because there were not enough “pick-up” orders to make ends meet. All the wait staff, the kitchen staff, out of work for now. This is one of a million sad stories. If we all stay in quarantine, and we all follow the rules, hopefully all our local businesses can be back soon. Meanwhile if you feel so inclined, the DT has an email address and you can write to John to wish him the best during this difficult time. A kind word can go a long way. [email protected]

Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood restaurant owner Lisa Mayisouglu of Lisa’s Mediterranean Cuisine wanted to help those volunteers on the front line, who are responding to the emergency medical calls during the COVID-19 Coronavirus. Thinking of how she could help, Lisa reached out to Ridgewood Emergency Services Volunteers and offered to prepare dinner for the volunteer EMS crews. “I have the food; our restaurant can only provide take out service now. So I decided to give back and provide a healthy meal for the Volunteers who are away from their families and risking exposure to the virus despite all the precautions that they take”.
Lisa, who has owned her restaurant for 15 years in the Village is taking her efforts even further by organizing other restaurants in the Village to follow suit. Ridgewood Emergency Services Public Information Officer Bob Krane stated “that the Volunteers really appreciate Lisa’s concern and thoughtfulness. A big thank you to Lisa. These are difficult times for all. Just as Lisa is supporting the Volunteers, all residents need to support the local restaurants by ordering take out service.”
