NY Waiters & BC/EFA Pool Their Tips

On Monday February 28, Two of theatre districts most popular restaurants will sponsor the second annual Carmine’s Cares/Virgil’s Fights AIDS benefit for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids. Starting at 5:00pm, the waitstaff from Carmine’s and Virgil’s Real BBQ will donate all their gratuities to the fight against HIV and AIDS. The event is the creation of server Jim Sterner, who gathered all the servers from these Times Square eateries and convinced them to contribute their earnings to charity. The ownership, Alicart Inc., will then match the efforts of the waitstaff. The location of the restaurants are;

Carmine’s Midtown
200 West 44th Street

Virgils Real BBQ
