Last evening, East Village mainstay Cafe Mogador, 101 St. Mark's Place, provided a free meal to the asylum seekers staying temporarily at the former St. Brigid School on Seventh Street and Avenue B.
Danny Orlin (middle above), son of Cafe Mogador founder Rivka Orlin, was there with some of the restaurant's staff member to distribute the meals — chicken tagine with rice.
The recipients were very appreciative, and everyone loved the food...

God bless you for doing this! I'm sure those who received these meals were not only delighted to get delicious food, but also appreciated the reassurance that they aren't "invisible" and that people DO care.
May your goodness come back to you many times over!
Now that's putting your food where your mouth is.
Thank You for helping represent the best of our East Village Community~
What amazing community members! I will definitely be visiting Mogador this weekend, love that place ❤️
May you be blessed a thousandfold.
This is the definition of what a community is and does for others in need. Much thanks to these generous young men for their contributions.
Aw, Mogador! So lovely.
