Alvirne High School senior, Darian Lindsay held her Capstone project at the Good Place on Tuesday evening, Dec. 16, transforming the dining room into “Tristan’s Groovin Café.”
Good Place owners allowed Darian to use the restaurant for her senior capstone project using the establishment as a full pop-up restaurant as a fundraiser for her brother Tristan, who has had a dream of opening his own café.
That dream became a reality on Tuesday night where Tristan designed his own special menu for people to choose from two choices of appetizer and three different entrées.
Those attending the event needed to place the orders in advance and were seated a specific time throughout the evening.
All proceeds from the event were donated to the Tim Tebow Foundation, with tickets priced at $20 for adults and $15 for kids, and each dinner includes an appetizer, entrée, and drink.
All of the food and time was donated by the Good Place owners.
The Capstone is a mandatory, culminating senior project where students design and complete a real-world project, demonstrating skills from the Hudson School District’s “Portrait of a Graduate,” like critical thinking, research, and communication, culminating in a public presentation to the school and community to show their readiness for life after high school.
