Eating out and being philanthropic may seem mutually exclusive, but there is a way the money you spend to eat out can help others at the same time. During the month of April, restaurants will pair up with the “Spring for City Harvest” campaign, each eatery offering special appetizers, entrees, desserts, and in some cases complete prix fixe menus. They will donate 10% of proceeds directly to City Harvest, where the money raised will be used to feed the city's hungry men, women and children.

Now you've got one more excuse to go to Momofuku Ssäm Bar, The Red Cat, Eleven Madison Park, Los Dados, P*ong or any of the other hot spots on their list of participating restaurants. Not a bad way to start your spring!
