    I've been spending a lot of time thinking about how to help restaurants, and if you care about Athens, you probably have been, too.

    First and foremost, you can donate to their GoFundMes or virtual tip jars. There are too many to link to here. Yes, it's possible some of those are shady. I wouldn't let that stop you from helping at all. Giving restaurants cash without requiring anything in return clearly helps them stay open, whether they're pivoting to delivery service during this pandemic or choosing to lay low or using their resources to provide meals to people who need them (Hugh Acheson is donating hundreds of meals a week to organizations that serve people in need, like Chess and Community, Dignidad Inmigrante en Athens and the Athens Community Council on Aging).

    Lots of restaurants are trying to give you something in return, like T-shirts printed locally, or offering gift cards for the future. You can buy those.
