The weeklong Juneteenth restaurant crawl, which launched on Thursday in Bedford-Stuyvesant, brings attention to Black-owned eateries such as Brooklyn Beso, known for its delicious oxtail mac and cheese. Organizer Donna Drakes, a native of St. Lucia, stressed the holiday's cultural importance and the need to support struggling businesses. The event, running until June 19, aims to uplift the local community. Following the crawl, a festival at Gershwin Park is set to take place, with backing from CBS News to further promote awareness and support for these businesses.
"This weeklong restaurant crawl not only highlights the incredible cuisine at Black-owned establishments like Brooklyn Beso but also emphasizes the importance of community support during Juneteenth."
"As we celebrate this significant holiday, it is essential to remember the cultural contributions of Black-owned businesses, which are vital to our communities and economy."
