Gene McCarthy’s 2nd Annual Guest Bartenders for Charity
If your family doesn't trace back to Buffalo's First Ward, then you may not be familiar with Gene McCarthy’s Irish Pub and Restaurant. But you should be, and you could be. Head down to McCarthy’s this Friday for their annual Guest Bartenders for Charity event. Beginning at noon, guest bartenders will donate their time to tend bar. All tips earned by guest bartenders will benefit the Old First Ward Community Center’s River Food Pantry Program and their Annual Christmas Party for needy children.
Guest bartenders include New York State Assemblyman Mark Schroeder, and Erie County Legislator Tim Kennedy. Likewise, local businessman, and Scotsman Extraordinaire, Randall Luce, will be joining the group with Geoff Kelly, and his sister Laura Kelly, Executive Director of the Old First Ward Community Center. So you not only get to harass, er, I mean enjoy the guest bartenders, but you'll also be helping those in need in the community. The event runs from noon until closing, so even if you're one of the many folks checking out of work early because of the holiday weekend, you can still swing in for a pint.

Sea Bar-City
It's great to see stylish, hip, new restaurants pop up downtown such as Sea Bar on Ellicott Street, which specializes in contemporary Japanese food. A clean ultra-modern space, Sea Bar’s dining room is quaint and inviting. The sleek sushi bar has counter seating and the wet bar, with beer, sake, and wine, has at least 10 sakes to choose from on any given night. We were happy to try a Sojitio, a sake mojito, which had the right amount of mint without too much sweetness.

Dinosaur Stalks Buffalo!!
Ten years ago, the downtown of My Fair City was forever altered when a Big Dinosaur appeared on the scene. Thankfully—unlike 1950’s Tokyo—when this dino showed up our downtown wasn’t flattened, but considerably improved. Dinosaur Bar B Que, a restaurant that originated in downtown Syracuse in the 1980’s, planted its foot in downtown Rochester in 1998. It was an instant hit—it’s common to have a line waiting to get in at all times. And it’s clearly Hog Heaven— … - Nov 21st, 9:05am

Si, Si, Cecelia's
Cecelia’s Ristorante & Martini Bar is prepared to guide their guests through the tastes of fall with their brand new fall menu. Although it is getting a bit too cold for the patio, the hardy food inside will warm things right up.
I started out with the Harvest Salad ($8) and the “Lumpy” Crab Cakes ($9). The Harvest Salad was served with a rosemary citrus vinaigrette, and topped with apricots, beets, pine nuts, walnuts, dried cranberries, and other assorted dried fruits. … - Nov 13th, 8:25am

Breakfast at Home: Crepes
One of the perks my daughter's friends enjoy about a sleepover at my home (other than rearranging the furniture for movie time) are the crepes I serve our guests in the morning.
I can remember sleepover breakfasts from when I was a kid that consisted of potato chips and soda from the night before. If the lack of sleep didn't make us dizzy and irritable enough, the fat, salt and sugar we ingested in the morning would make sure the entire day would be counted for lost. Ugh.

Geoff Kelly has a real job. But then I'm guessing you weren't talking about him or his sister. I heart the Kellys. Fine, I'm just pissed because I'm at work and not at Gene McCarthy's. .
