One of the few good things to come out of the World Trade Center disaster was the Restaurant Opportunities Center of New York (ROC‐NY), a nonprofit organisation formed after 11 September to provide ongoing support to displaced workers and families of victims from the centre's Windows on the World restaurant. Now ROC‐NY has 700 members, is working to improve conditions for restaurant workers all over the city, and is helping displaced workers from all the World Trade Center restaurants open cooperatively owned restaurants of their own. Jayne Merkel describes the first, the ambitious Colors, which has 58 owners from 24 countries, most of whom once worked at the enormous Windows on the World at the top of the famous twin towers.
