A group of Northwestern students discussed the possibility of a Pakistani-focused student organization over dinner at Tapas Barcelona early Winter Quarter.

Tapas Barcelona has partnered with nine other local restaurants to start Crosstown Collabs, a mask-selling effort to reel in revenue amid the pandemic.
Many Evanston and Cook County restaurants rely on take-out orders to stay afloat, with limited capacity for indoor dining. Some restaurants, including La Vaca Margarita Bar, are still closed for dine-in.
Horacio Lopez, the principal organizer of Crosstown Collabs and the son of the owners of Tapas Barcelona, said the initiative is a way to support local businesses by giving them “an extra boost of attention and revenue.”
Crosstown Collabs features five unique mask designs, which each represent a partnership between two Chicago-area restaurants. For each mask sold, restaurant partner pairs split the profit. Designs range from a cow and bull, which represents Tapas Barcelona and La Vaca Margarita, to a line of eggs with halos and wings, which represents Cleo’s Southern Cuisine and Ovo Frito Cafe.
