Why your support matters
Could it be that the total possible amount of vegan-specific shoppers in Greenpoint isn’t enough of a target market?

This is not the only restaurant that is asking for money. Previous restaurants ask for donations before closing them. Most donator ask what happened with the money they donated. The restaurant owners did not even responded. They think that we are stupid. People these days don’t have shame. If your business closed, why are you asking for money? It’s ridiculous.
