Times = tough. Let's get them a little more tender through the power of pizza.
Have you recently been laid off? Bring a notice from your former employer into La Fourno (636 South St., 215-627-9000, lafourno.com) and they'll give you a $25 gift certificate. And for those collecting unemployment while hunting for a new job — bring in documentation that you're receiving the benefits, and the trattoria will knock somewhere in the range of 20 to 30 percent off your bill. (They're still tinkering with the final number.)
"Anybody that's hurting, we're here for them," says owner Al Grafstrom, whom A.D. Amorosi quoted in this week's Naked City piece on the revival of South Street. "People are experiencing enough angst and anxiety and trauma with the economy. But that doesn't mean they can't take their family out for a nice dinner without feeling a sharp pain in their wallet."
I wonder how many people will take advantage of this????
WOW! This is really a generous offer. I was laid off in August and have curtailed going out to dinner to save some $ but, with this offer I can probably afford to go out again. I've been to La Fourno and know that the food is great so, with this really, really generous offer I'm going to meet up with friends there (hopefully) this week. To the owner, thank you, thank you, thank you! Lisa C
[...] South Street’s underrated La Fourno is offering a sweet deal for the unemployed. Like $25 with proof of layoff and a heavy discount for those collecting unemployment. [Meal Ticket] [...]
