Deets: On November 18–19, No Kid Hungry is transforming Bari Bodega in Union Square into the Give Back Bodega, a free two-day pop-up putting a charitable spin on one of New York City’s most recognizable food rituals: the bodega breakfast.

For New Yorkers, the neighborhood bodega is more than a place to grab breakfast. It's a community staple where food and connection come together. For Brooklyn native Danny Garcia, that connection is personal. Raised in a Dominican and Puerto Rican household, Danny's passion for food as a way to bring communities together is also reflected in his developing Latin-inspired hospitality concept, Only Goods, inspired by NYC bodega culture.

At the pop-up, you can try the exclusive Bistec & Egg sandwich created and served on-site by Top Chef winner Danny Garcia.

Timed ahead of Thanksgiving, the Give Back Bodega turns an everyday NYC food ritual into an opportunity to spotlight childhood hunger and rally support for the organization's goal of helping 10 million more kids get the meals they need every day by 2032.

Hint for the Average Socialite: This event is open to the public. Sandwiches available while supplies last; donations encouraged but not required.
