Donnie Wahlberg leaves generous tip at Massachusetts restaurant

PLYMOUTH, Mass. (AP) — Actor Donnie Wahlberg recently left a $2,020 tip at a Massachusetts restaurant, continuing his habit of leaving generous gratuities to brighten the days of wait staff.

The “Band of Brothers” and “Blue Bloods” actor and former member of boy band New Kids on the Block left the tip on a $35.27 lunchtime bill at the Marshland restaurant location in Plymouth on Nov. 7 as part of the #2020TipChallenge.

The challenge encourages people to tip generously.

“A very special thank you to our friend @donniewahlberg!,” the restaurant posted on Facebook. “When asked about it all he said was ‘who’s up next?!’”

Wahlberg, a Boston native, left a $2,020 tip at an Illinois IHOP earlier this year and in 2017 left a $2,000 tip at a Waffle House in North Carolina.
