Kicking off in January, Marino’s Trattoria and Wasu, restaurants in the Watchung commercial triangle are actively partnering with the PTO to provide a social connection for residents, a boost to their businesses as well as a fundraising initiative for residents, district students, and their families. Patrons need to mention that they are supporting the Watchung PTO when placing their order at Marino’s on Mondays or Wasu on Wednesday for the organization to receive the dine to donate contribution.
Marinos, a family Italian trattoria, located in the town’s commercial triangle off Somerset Street, is hosting “Marino’s Mondays” from 3:30 to 8:00 pm through the end of the month. Dates included Jan. 11 and Jan. 18, and the next event is Jan. 25. Every Monday during the specified window, the restaurant will donate back a percentage back from all items ordered online, in-person, or over the phone.
