The programs and initiatives in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act that was just passed by Congress are intended to assist business owners their immediate needs. These programs are beginning to come online each day. As of today, applications for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) are live.
We know that applying to these programs can be complex and often raise more questions than answers. To that end we are hosting an in-depth legal webinar with the generous support of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer in partnership with Community Board 3. After a guided how-to of the PPP application process, the Freshfields team will be available to answer questions.
These seedlings were raised on a windowsill. Grown from seed (from a beefsteak tomato from Trader Joe's).
Planted on Feb. 20, so they should bear fruit in 4-6 weeks.
Plant them in a big pot (they'll get big!) (the paper pots will dissolve)
If you want to grow them outside, they'll need to be hardened off. (Google it. It's easy)

"I saw what Adam was doing on social media honestly and when we noticed what he was doing it was very clear that we needed to help him," said Ben Kraus of A&E Real Estate Management. The group also donated more than $20,000 to help Adam get more pizzas to more medical workers.
This unquestionably is the most difficult time in all our lives. The severity of this crisis has put our business and community in an uncharted territory. We regret that this action is necessary and hope that this layoff will be temporary. While we do not know how long this layoff will last, we hope and expect it will be less than six months. You will be provided with COBRA information under separate cover (if you had insurance through garden café associates). Please note that your compensation and benefits from the Company shall cease as of the Layoff Date, March 26, 2020.
The suspension of operations has had a direct and immediate impact on our B Bar family. With most our staff currently without jobs, we plan to do what many in the hospitality industry are already doing and take immediate action with an appeal to our communities to help raise funds that will help our staff in the interim. More information to follow.
Eric Goode responded to employee pleas for two weeks paid leave with very little - some directions about how to apply for unemployment and a "yours truly" sign off. This termination without pay was sudden and decisive, leaving many of the staff left with nothing to feed their families. Many of these staff members have worked at 20-plus years. Mr. Goode is currently living on his multimillion dollar ranch in California.
