Help Joey Aponte Rebuild and Restore the beloved Cabin

Our dear friend, Joey Aponte —owner of The Cabin NYC on the Lower East Side - has been hit with a devastating loss. Joey’s cherished restaurant, the place that has been like a home away from home

for so many of you, has been completely destroyed. So much more than a business, Joey poured his heart, soul, and life savings into the Cabin. A dream built from scratch that became a staple of

the community , a conduit for giving back and a source of pride for so many needs your help.

Due to the negligence of his landlord, Joey is now facing a long, uphill legal battle to secure the funds he is owed to address the devastating damage done to the Cabin. In the meantime, he urgently needs support to cover the high cost of proper legal representation during this brutal process . This isn’t a fight he chose, but it’s one he must take on to reclaim what he built with love and sacrifice.

If you know Joey, you know he’s the kind of person who always shows up for others. He’s been a selfless supporter of countless causes and a generous force in the Lower East Side community—donating time, food, and resources to charitable organizations and individuals in need. Joey has always had our backs. Now it’s time for us to have his.

We’re calling on friends, family, neighbors, and anyone who’s ever experienced Joey’s kindness or the warmth of The Cabin NYC to come together. Every dollar counts—please give what you can to help a tremendous community figure during one of the most difficult moments of his life.

Let’s rally behind Joey Aponte. Let’s help him fight. Let’s help him rebuild.
