New Video for NYC Taxi: Teaming Up with AOL and Citizen Schools

June 21, 2011

SHARE ·

I really enjoyed teaming up with AOL to host students Citizen Schools stop by Red Rooster recently.  It’s an organization very close to my heart, so it means a lot to me to have them come by the restaurant for a tour and “Incredible Edibles” apprenticeship. It’s great to show young kids just how important community is so that they grow up and want to be just as involved. Red Rooster is a great source of community for Harlem no matter what age you are!

For a sneak peak of the video that will be appearing in New York Taxi Cabs this week, check out the video here.  [click to continue…]
