The Good Life
As if you need another reason to go enjoy a phenomenal meal, Dining Out For Life will take place Thursday, March 9. Over 150 local restaurants will donate 25-100 percent of sales to Food & Friends, a group that delivers meals and groceries to those living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other debilitating illnesses. This means that you can indulge in a sumptuous pasta at Notti Bianche, retro-cool pineapple upside-down cake and fried chicken at Colorado Kitchen, seafood splendor at Hank's Oyster Bar or truffled frites at Firefly with the knowledge that your indulgent order is helping out those in need.
Will you order the lobster roll or the sable fish? The creme brulee or the chocolate cake? If you have trouble making decisions when you order a meal, this is the night for you. Indulge and order everything. The more you spend, the more you'll help others.
Besides the aforementioned spots, other notable participants include Carlyle (donating 100 percent of sales from lunch and dinner), Ristorante Tosca (donating 100 percent of dinner sales), Sushi Ko and Georgia Brown's (both donating 50 percent of dinner sales). With such a benevolent deal, the only decision you'll need to make is where to eat.
