&pizza® is an anti-establishment establishment built on the renown of its creative pies and craft beverages, localized shop design, and the strength, unity and vibe of its living-wage-paid, ampersand-tattooed Tribe. Sustainability is important because we are conscious of our footprint and responsibility to our planet and everyone on it. we aim to be transparent in what we do and why we do it and this is one more way in which we differentiate ourself through our culture and values

Avant Garden is small upscale East Village restaurant that features an open kitchen and all-natural wine. The menu features unique and modern plant-based cuisine where seasonal ingredients are pushed to the focus.

We transitioned all of our properties into vegan businesses for the future. We hope to offer a vegan alternative to the restaurant industry without any pretense; and by making dining experiences fun and casual, our goal is to demystify the concept of veganism and help teach our guests sustainable dining.

ARTICLE22 sustainable jewelry celebrates stories of transformation and makes positive impact. Weapons transformed into symbols of love are upcycled by our Laotian artisan partners from Vietnam War shrapnel and scrap. Each piece helps clear some of the 80 million unexploded bombs in Laos.

For over ten years now, we've been building a sustainable supply chain between Laos and the US, building a virtuous circle where "shared success is shared impact".

Inspired by Muhammed Yunus and the power of social business to solve problems, we founded and named ARTICLE 22 after the 22nd article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Rather than rely on the non-profit donor model, ARTICLE 22 is built on a self-sustaining foundation, promotes collective effort, and nourishes a shared success. Each of our artisan partners is agent of change rather than passive recipients of charity.
