Get Purple Thursday Outreach Kit Corporate Spotlight Liberty Restaurant Group For nearly 20 years, the Liberty Restaurant Group has been a cornerstone of the Arlington restaurant scene. Doorways Emeritus Board member, Stephen Fedorchak (pictured below), and his restaurant partners opened The Liberty Tavern in 2007 next door to what was then Doorways’ main office, immediately becoming amazing neighbors and supporters. Since expanding to Falls Church, they have continued their tradition of generosity and kindness. We are so thankful they are hosting this year’s Open Hearts, Open Doors at The Falls. Kudos to Stephen and the entire Liberty Restaurant Group team for centering your business on your community!
