"Verde Cocina, the family-owned group of Mexican restaurants that specializes in providing options for all kinds of dietary restrictions, is having a hard year. Besides losing its Pearl District location due to the coronavirus back in May, last Thursday a fire broke out in the Sylvan Highlands location, causing extensive damage. Verde has set up a GoFundMe account, aiming to raise $30,000 for its restoration. Diners can visit its location in Hillsdale for patio seating, takeout, and delivery." - Alex Frane
