Kipped from UPenn’s sociology listserv:

Dahlak (Ethopian), Vientienne Cafe (Thai), and another restaurant on 47th and Baltimore are all donating their food and the proceeds from all patrons on Monday, Spetember 12 to the Red Cross for the relief fund in response to Katrina. The owner of Dahlak was not quite clear on the details, but it sounds like each diner will be asked for $10 to eat that night, all money going directly to the Red Cross. Good deal, good food, good cause.
