Cafe Momentum

From its start, Cafe Momentum has had all the makings of a great restaurant: a relaxed ambiance, reasonable pricing, and creatively prepared food. But above all, this place doubles as a nonprofit that provides culinary training to at-risk youth. Featuring a seasonal New American menu, dishes run the gamut from house-made charcuterie platters to smoked fried chicken with all the fixings and coffee-rubbed, locally sourced NY strip. Drink-wise, there's a terrific selection of wine starting at $25 a bottle as well as craft beer. Also, because the staff is paid a living wage, any tip you wish to leave will be considered a donation to the restaurant's mission.
