"A boutique vegetarian bed-and-breakfast in Ocean Park that had been a client and collaborator of the local CSA since its opening, the inn doubled as a community hub after Maria—running on generator power soon after the storm and later seeing business rebound as guests sought ways to help. The owner opened the kitchen and guest networks to support volunteer brigades, hosted a sold-out four-course vegan pop-up that served as a relaunch for the paused café project, and provided prep space and lodging for visiting cooks and brigade members. The intimate courtyard dinner—candles, coquí at dusk, and local activists among the guests—reflected both a convivial atmosphere and a purposeful commitment to channeling visitor interest into organized, locally led relief and revival work." - Martha Bayne
