A New York nonprofit is holding pop-up brunches on Route 1 in Woodridge, D.C., just south of Mount Rainier, to help refugees in the area.
Emma’s Torch, named for the poem on the base of the Statue of Liberty, will serve brunch at 2212 Rhode Island Ave. NE, the home of Foodhini, a delivery-only restaurant in Washington, D.C.,
Refugees who are learning the culinary arts help serve a New American family-style brunch in a laid-back atmosphere with the goal of helping them to learn how to work various jobs in the dining industry ranging from waiting tables to cooking to clean-up.
The menu is prix-fixe, which means one price covers the entire meal, with pay-what-you-can tickets ranging from $35 to $75. You can specify any diet restrictions when buying a ticket.
Seatings are available from 11 to 12:30 p.m. or 1 to 2:30 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays in June and July.
Emma’s Torch has previously held pop-ups at La Cosecha and Union Market.
Tickets are available here.
