Local comedian hands out $ 13,000 in tips to UWS bar employees

UPPER WEST SIDE, Manhattan (WABC) – A local comedian handed out some big tips on Thursday to employees at Lilly’s Cocktail and Wine Bar on the Upper West Side.

Robyn Schall wanted to do something nice for hardworking New Yorkers struggling to make ends meet during the pandemic.

Schall asked her many social media followers to donate money, and they came in with $ 13,000. She distributed the money and handed out big checks to some very baffled workers.

After all that, Schall had $ 100 left, so she walked around the corner to a pizza joint and spread the love there too.
