With an ever increasing number of locations growing all the time I am please to announce they are in New York! I am happy that they made it to my neighborhood, the financial district, especially since Hurricane Sandy made some restaurants close. They use the Staples of Mediterranean cuisine like pitas, cous-cous, fire-roasted meats and hummus to ignite your future love of their food. Flavors you can’t forget long after you’re done eating.

Salud Restaurant in Financial District NEEDS YOUR HELP TODAY!

I received this email from their Management team!

URGENT S.O.S. MESSAGE
Salud Restaurant Location is 142 Beekman Street between South & Front St.

Dear friends family and loyal guests of Salud,

I hope that everyone and your families are all ok after the storm.  As some of you might have already heard, Salud was completely obliterated by the storm and we were about 13 feet underwater from basement to ceilings.  It has been hard to communicate in this area without power or phone service so my apologies for not reaching out to you sooner.  Please be advise that our kitchen and restrooms, utilities and were still underwater until 2 days ago, when we were finally were able to obtain gas and generators.  Although most of the mitigation of the main floor of the restaurant was done by good Samaritans , neighbors and friends in the neighborhood.  The downstairs still needs a little work.

We would be extremely grateful for as any volunteers and could use as much man power as possible to finish the cleanup.  We will be there all day today from 1pm – until we finish tonight. We will appreciate if you can also forward this message along to anyone else you think might want to help us in this devastating situation.

We will provide all the cleaning materials, gloves and tools for the final cleanup of what use to be Salud.

Could use a power washer, crowbar and jackhammer if anyone can provide it.

Thank you all so very much.
