Help Camberville Hospitality Workers
Bartender Naomi Levy has been a prominent force on the Boston bar scene since her days at Eastern Standard. Now, she oversees Variety Bar at the Comedy Studio, located at Somerville’s eclectic Bow Market. Suffice to say, she’s close with many workers throughout the hospitality industry—so, her GoFundMe effort supports not only her own staff, but any Camberville hospitality workers in need right now.
Levy reports that donations since March 16 have already started going out to eligible “cooks, servers, baristas, bartenders, and backwaiters,” but “we are receiving 15-20 new applicants a day.” If you work in hospitality and live or work in Cambridge or Somerville and need help, apply for this fund—and if you’re just missing the bars on that side of the river, make a donation. To sweeten the support, Levy is keeping busy sharing at-home bartending recipes on her own social media, too. Cheers!
