to 2 p.m., workers took orders from hungry kids, preparing to-go boxes filled with rice, beans, chicken, tortillas, and even a vegetarian protein option.
This week, a chain of 10 Oaxaca Taqueria restaurants around Manhattan and Brooklyn began handing out free lunches to schoolchildren on weekdays to combat the food insecurity caused by school closures in a city besieged by coronavirus. Then, after a quick exchange of food, conversation, and laughter, they turned around, plastic bags in hand, and walked home.
Each day, the children entered and stopped-six feet away from the counter, where the gloved workers stood-and ordered their lunches. Each day, the siblings waited outside, where signs on every window urged them to wait, until the workers signaled that it was okay for them to enter. They came back again on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday, never at the same time. But the young boy and his older sister waited patiently in the downpour to pick up their free lunch at Oaxaca Taqueria at its Upper East Side location. When they came to get their lunch on the first day, it was pouring rain. One of the to-go boxes prepared at a Oaxaca Taqueria location for hungry schoolchildren.
