In support of April 11th as “Massachusetts Restaurant Day for No Kid Hungry,” Governor Charlie Baker issued a citation in recognition of the efforts of the restaurant community and their work to benefit this important cause. On April 11th, 2016, five restaurants across Massachusetts: Tremont 647, One Eleven Chop House, The Quarterdeck, Cobblestones of Lowell and East Bay Grille will unite to create a unique dining experience and work in collaboration to help benefit No Kid Hungry’s nutrition education programming in Massachusetts.

We believe this can grow year by year across the entire state from Newburyport to Provincetown, Boston to Pittsfield and everywhere in between.” – Bob Luz, President of the MRA
