JOB continues to find competitive employment for people with disabilities through partnerships with companies in all industries.

To celebrate, preserve, and nurture America's culinary heritage and diversity in order to elevate the appreciation of our culinary excellence.
"You can only guess that the food editors of Newsday found the essence of that Sanskrit phrase in the hospitality at Salaam Bombay. “Tribeca’s upscale Indian restaurant knows how to please a crowd,” they wrote in a round-up of the city’s best Indian restaurants. This is one time to follow the crowd, as they head to Beard House to savor the taste of India."
