Palestinian restaurant Ayat, opening near Columbia, names location ‘Hind’s Hall’ to honor campus protesters

JL;DR SUMMARY The Palestinian restaurant Ayat NYC is opening a new location near Columbia University, named Hinds Hall in solidarity with pro-Palestinian protesters who renamed a university building, Hamilton Hall, during a protest.

But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
