YCPN Members got together at various events for Caribbean Restaurant Week 2021, which was held April 17-26th. Members got the word out through email, social media posts and more, and organized COVID-safe gatherings at restaurants or did take-out meals from those establishments that did not have outdoor dining. All in all, the Caribbean restaurant community was happy with the turnout and the support from the Caribbean community in Philadelphia.
