The NYC Hospitality Alliance successfully advocated with Senator Schumer and the New York Congressional delegation to help include the Restaurant Revitalization Fund (RRF) in the American Rescue Plan, which provides $28.6 billion in debt-free relief for small and mid-sized restaurants and bars. The RRF provides up to $5 million in grants — not loans — for individual restaurants, caterers, breweries and tasting rooms or, alternatively, up to $10 million for qualified restaurant groups, to help cover pandemic-related revenue losses. This is the most monumental relief enacted to save countless eating and drinking establishments and jobs in New York City and around the country affected by Covid-19.
