Kicking off Pride at Ellen’s Stardust Diner

By Alexander Gilkey, Communications Content Associate

God’s Love We Deliver and the iconic Ellen’s Stardust Diner in Times Square kicked off a collaboration filled with love, acceptance, and PRIDE! For the month of June, when guests order a rainbow cake, shake, or co-branded merchandise, Ellen’s Stardust Diner will donate 20% of the proceeds to God’s Love. Come #FeedYourPride while raising awareness for an important cause!

Watch Ellen Tour God's Love

Ellen Hart first founded Ellen’s Café across from City Hall in 1987. Afterwards, she rebranded as Ellen’s Stardust Diner and moved to its current Times Square location at W. 51st Street & Broadway. Ellen’s is open 365 days a year from 7am to midnight and welcomes New Yorkers, celebrities, and tourists from all over the globe. The restaurant is known for its “singing waitstaff” and 1950s retro themed restaurant. Many “Stardusters” have gone on to Broadway careers. Ellen, who was born and raised in New York, can sometimes be found making singing cameos at the diner as well.

A portion of sales from all rainbow shakes and cakes will be donated to God's Love.

Stephen Covello, Chief Philanthropy Officer at God’s Love, delivered remarks about the important missions of both God’s Love and Ellen‘s Stardust Diner: gathering around food to nourish and celebrate. There were three special performances by Broadway stars Corey Mach, Anastacia McCleskey, and Jelani Remy. We thank Ellen‘s Stardust Diner for their meaningful support during Pride Month!
