Love restaurants in New Orleans. Miss walking along Bourbon Street 💙
We're so proud of all of the small historic restaurants that this program has been able to support over the past five years!
This is such an inspiring initiative! Supporting small, independent restaurants that are more than just places to eat, they’re community hubs and cultural landmarks, makes a huge impact. Grants like these don’t just help businesses survive; they help preserve history, traditions, and local flavor.
It's fantastic to see programs like this directly support the backbone of our communities – small businesses. Preserving not just the culinary heritage but also the community landmarks these restaurants represent is so vital. A true win-win for local economies and culture.
It’s wonderful to see American Express investing in small, historic restaurants that are such an essential part of their communities. Initiatives like this truly help preserve culture while fueling local economic growth. 👏
American Express............Such a meaningful initiative! Love how this program uplifts small restaurants that are rich in history and heart. Antoine’s story is a powerful reminder of how local businesses shape communities. Excited to see the 2025 grantees thrive!
