Eat and drink well (and do good!) by redeeming this $50 gift certificate from the New Leaf Restaurant & Bar in Upper Manhattan's scenic Fort Tryon Park. Housed in an exquisitely restored stone building from the 1930s, the New Leaf has a modern American menu that features an ever-changing assortment of seasonal dishes. And because the restaurant is run by the non-profit New York Restoration Project, all proceeds go towards the reclamation and restoration of New York City parks, community gardens, and other open, public spaces.

"Dining at the New Leaf is like visiting a charming, upstate country inn without ever leaving the city.”
