Dining for the Cure

The Italian eatery Franco's Metro in Fort Lee is supporting the fight against breast cancer this entire week--one meal at a time:

"It is a week long event where Franco’s Metro will be donating a portion of each check to the fight against breast cancer and cancer awareness. It is something that we are very passionate about, as Breast cancer has touched our friends & family in a number of ways. Obviously, we want to make the largest donation possible in our inaugural year, but in order to do that, we need support from friends like you to help fill our seats all week long.

Together we can find a cure."

The effort is part of "New Jersey Restaurants for a Cure" which benefits the Susan G. Komen Women for the Cure North Jersey. Other restaurants in the region include Bazzarelli Ristorante in Moonachie, Bensi in Clifton, Hasbrouck Heights, Hillsdale, Moonachie, North Arlington, Paramus and Wayne, the Cornerstone in Hillsdale, and the Ho-Ho-Kus Inn.
