"A celebrated New York City Palestinian restaurant run by co-owner Abdul Elenani that has mobilized its kitchen to feed student protesters across the city and beyond. Since the first campus encampments began in mid-April, the team has prepared and delivered thousands of meals — from a first run of 600 shawarma sandwiches to dozens of trays of kibbeh, spinach and meat pies, and large pots of maklouba served to students at Columbia, NYU and other sites — and has plans to bring food to other campuses. The owner says he was moved to act after visiting encampments, treats the effort as solidarity rather than promotion, and intends to continue feeding protesters for as long as they sustain their occupations." - Amy McCarthy
