BAYSIDE — Grace Restaurant is doing its part for Hurricane Sandy relief by being paired with a New York restaurant in desperate need of repairs through liftsall.org. Ted & Honey is a brother and sister-owned cafe and event company "that serves uber made-from-scratch casual food from local and organic sources" in Brooklyn, whose brand-new commercial kitchen has been flooded with 4 feet of water and sewer back up. Part of Grace's proceeds tomorrow will go to help the restaurant. [EaterWire]
