Brooklyn restaurateur Fred Urban says he is weeks away from shutting down his eatery as the coronavirus continues to pummel Big Apple businesses — but that doesn’t mean he’s letting his elderly and homeless neighbors go hungry.

“If this is going to put us out of business, might as well go out in style!” said Urban, 52, of Bay Ridge’s Schnitzel Haus.

“We’re not able to keep our doors open much longer, so why throw [food] in the garbage when I can cook it and feed it to someone?” he told The Post.

Ever since Urban’s restaurant and others across the city were forced to close for dine-in customers, cutting 90 percent of his business, he and his family have been delivering free hot meals to elderly folks too scared to leave their house and homeless people sleeping on the streets.

He’s been using Facebook to get the word out to older residents and has been driving through the neighborhood each night with 10 hot plates for the homeless — serving up everything from bratwurst, french fries, schnitzel, kielbasa and salad.

“We’re just trying to help people in need,” said Urban’s wife of 20 years, Amber.

“There’s people that don’t have anybody to reach out to.”

More than a dozen elderly residents have asked for help through Urban’s Facebook posts, including a regular customer in her 80s who called him, desperate for assistance.

“She said, ‘I have not been able to get to the bank, I have no money but I wanted to get some food,’ ” Urban recounted.

“I said, ‘Not an issue, do you need anything else from the store?’ And we brought her milk, eggs, bread and the food from the restaurant.”

When he showed up to deliver the food, the woman was in tears, so grateful for the help.

“She said ‘This is very scary times, we’ve been told to stay in the house, and I’ve been afraid to go out, so thank you so much for doing this,’ ” Urban said.

On Thursday night, while delivering food to the homeless, Urban came across a couple who only spoke Spanish but were starving for some grub.

“They had no English capabilities, but we had some communications in Spanish, and they sat up and were really grateful,” Urban said.

“One guy opened up the package and started eating right as he was talking to me, so he must’ve been very hungry.”

Urban, a native Brooklynite who has been running the restaurant for the past 14 years, said his landlord recently told him that if his rent isn’t paid next week, he has 30 days to vacate the premises.

Even though Gov. Andrew Cuomo enacted a moratorium on evictions, Urban will eventually have to pay back his landlord if he wants to keep his business open, he noted. He said that just won’t be possible if the city-wide shutdown continues much longer.

Still, he said his decision to give back was easy.

“We’ve had homeless people come to the restaurant, and I say, ‘Come back, and you can eat here later.’ We’ve even had people sleep on our vacant third floor last winter,” Urban said.

“Mom and Dad were giving people,” he said of his parents. “My dad would’ve given you the shirt off his back. He was a woodworker, the go-to guy on the block. Anything you needed to be built, you called my dad.

“It gets instilled in you growing up.”
