A Fabulous Feast for a Fabulous Cause


It’s always a good time with auctions galore (live, fishbowl and silent), dancing, singing and sword fighting! The feast is a show in itself with a cornucopia of wine and beer, hors d’oeuvres, cheddar and broccoli soup, a salad of greens, goat cheese, blood oranges and vinaigrette, chicken and turkey drumsticks, stuffed pork loin, potatoes, macaroni and cheese, vegetables, dessert and coffee. As icing on the cake, per se, the Up Start Crow Awards will also be presented. This is SDP’s biggest and most important fundraiser of the year and really offers something for everyone to enjoy so come one, come all! This year, Shakespeare in Delaware Park will be presenting King Lear and The Merry Wives of Windsor.

Shakespearean attire is welcomed but not required. For more information please go to the SDP website: www.shakespeareindelawarepark.org.
Tickets are $65 for members and $75 for non-members. They can be purchased through Paypal on the Feast’s webpage or you can call SDP's office for tickets at 716.856.4533.

Wednesday we talked about the reaction to a previous post which generated comments regarding whether or not Buffalo’s restaurants offer quality, contemporary food. With that question many other points were raised along with a glut of opinions regarding the current state of Buffalo’s restaurant scene. This situation spurred me into thinking about what the definition of modern food is and who in Buffalo is preparing it. I decided that over the course of the following weeks I …
This just in: Buffalo has a lot of great coffee houses. Actually, that’s an obvious statement and not news to anyone. We all know that Buffalo offers many fun places to grab a coffee. I wonder what makes a person prefer some places more than others. My favorite coffee house happens to be CafĂ© Allegro. I always feel at home there. Maybe it’s the cozy chairs that remind me of past apartments, or it might be the general laid-back atmosphere. Whatever the reason, I find it …
