Student Who Exclusively Eats Allegro's at 1AM on Saturdays Speaks out About Supporting Local Businesses

She’s almost easy to miss, but sitting in the far back booth at Allegro Pizza and Grill is junior Danielle Hough, an activist if there ever was one. And her valiant effort to keep local Philadelphia businesses afloat has not gone unnoticed.

“I just LOVE this place!” a seemingly intoxicated Hough proclaimed at Allegro’s last Saturday night. “And you know even though I only ever get their pizza here,” she went on, “they have a huge menu with fries and pastas and sandwiches, too. It’s never-ending!” Her excitement is contagious and her group of friends nod along with her.

“Danielle is the most generous person we know,” stated Lucy, a longtime best friend of Hough. “She loves helping any and every business, no matter the time it takes away from sleeping or studying.”

Her passion does not only extend to the late night pizza place, however. From Copa to Smokes’ to New Deck Tavern, Hough makes sure to visit these places at least once or twice a week, even during finals, but “only during happy hour.”

As Hough got up to go, she knocked over a bottle of ketchup along with a few dirty napkins. However, because she had more philanthropy work with her sorority early in the morning, she could not stop to pick them up. “I am very passionate about helping others,” she stated again, completely unprompted.
