New England Wine Quartet

Happy Monday to all. You’re almost through the day so why not treat yourself with a little dinner, a little drink, or maybe a little take-out?

Stop Whining…

 Ashmont Grill starts its Monday Night Wine Club TONIGHT with a quartet of wines from New England including varieties from Newport Vineyards and Westport Rivers.   Pair each wine with a beautiful course (remember: four courses = $30.00) and stick around for trivia night at 9pm.  Dinner starts at 6:30pm.

Grab Some Grub And Help Haiti

You’re busy, you’re rushed, and your people will be hungry (i.e. the roomates, the family, the partners, the poker club….).  Whole Foods-Symphony has a great deal tonight: grab some yummy creole grilled fish with rice and beans for $9.99 and all the proceeds will go directly to Partners in Health’s efforts in Haiti.

Don’t Forget The Doggies

I’ll never get the images of dogs and cats left behind by Katrina.  It still makes me well up as I sit here and type.  Just think of the devastation in Haiti.  Or if you cannot bear to picture it, at least try and do something about it.  The Franklin Cafe in the South End is giving you a way to enjoy Haiti’s delicious rum (Barbancourt)…and help at the same time.  Starting today until the end of the week, sales of Haitian Rum Punch will go directly to International Fund for Animal Welfare’s (IFAW) work in Haiti. For a hopeful (and remarkable) radio piece about Katrina’s animals, listen to THIS.
