Two Boots was created in NYC's East Village in 1987 by two indie filmmakers who loved pizza, beer and all things New Orleans (the two "boots" refer to the geographic shapes of Italy and Louisiana). Our locations include NYC, Connecticut, Los Angeles, Baltimore, and soon many more, but wherever we go, we try to bring our family-friendly service, funky folk art and deep commitment to the community.
Lower Eastside Girls Club provides a place where girls and young women 8-23 can grow, learn, have fun, and develop confidence in themselves and their ability to make a difference in the world. By delivering strong arts, literacy, science, health and leadership programs we provide girls with the vision to plan - and the tools to build - their future. The Girls Club also runs several social venture businesses that offer job training and employment opportunities for teens and young mothers: The Art+Community Gallery, La Tiendita Fair Trade and Girl Made Gift Shop at the Essex Market, Celebrate Cafe, and the Sweet Things Bake Shop. The new Lower Eastside Girls Club Center for Community is a $20 million 30,000 square foot state of the art 'green' building that will serve hundreds of economically disadvantaged girls and their families.
