Why This New Bedford Restaurant Has Money Pinned to the Ceiling
You walk into the popular West End Grill on Rockdale Avenue in New Bedford, order an amazing breakfast or lunch, and notice money stuck to the ceiling. Sometimes it has written on it the name and the date the people were there; other times with personal messages written across the bill.
Some bars and eateries that feature this never take their currency down, but at the West End Grill, the money is taken down every year, and for a good cause. When my son was born, he had open heart surgery, said West End Grill manager Michelle Eugenio. When we first started the ceiling fundraiser, we had a sign that read, Give me a Buck and Try Your Luck. She said the idea came from a friend who saw it elsewhere.
