*Every week a different Newton restaurant is popping up at The Allen Center’s gorgeous patio, bringing new tastes, cuisines, and cultures to West Newton. Lunch-Time Pop-Ups at The Allen Center offers a feast that focuses on organizations that embrace the importance of sustainability at this local pop-up market on Thursday, July 13th from 11:30-2:30 pm. Pre-order a delicious meal and feel good about the impact our local businesses are making on the environment. The climate-conscious participants include Judith’s Kitchen, a market and cafe that has embraced “recirclables” to cut down on take-out packaging. Fulfilled Goods, a new low-waste “refillery” with sustainable products. Hustlestop, hair, skin + nail services with environmentally friendly practices and self-care products. A Taste of France employs reusable baskets in their doorstep pastry drop-offs. Derby Farm Flowers, a florist, gift shop, and a 1% FOR THE PLANET BUSINESS—donating 1% of its annual sales to environmental causes. Pre-order your Allen Center Lunch by 3:30 pm today.
