A Taste for Life 2010

It couldn’t get much easier. Book a table (soon) at a participating restaurant – most of the city’s best are on the list – and dine in support of a good cause. Fully 25% of cost of the meal will be donated to Bruce House and the Snowy Owl AIDS Foundation. This marks the twelfth year of this national fundraising dine-to-donate initiative, and it’s raised more than $650,000 thus far.

2010 date is April 28th.

Amate gone

This cute little Mexican restaurant closed for renovations, reopened, and then finally closed for good. In its place, a new sushi restaurant called Sushi Umi. Stay tuned…
