Dining Out For Life: Make your reservations now for dinner on April 26, when over 300 Front Range restaurants will donate a portion of their proceeds to Project Angel Heart, which provides meals to families living with AIDS, cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.

Flavored butters: Tucked into Target’s meat section are these wonderful house-brand sweet-cream butters with flavors like chimichurri, horseradish chive and lemon-pepper Parmesan. They’re supposed to be for steaks, but work beautifully on veggies, pasta, eggs or toast – $4.99 for the Sutton & Dodge brand, $2.99 for Archer Farms. | Target Stores | Ellen Sweets
Micro Brew walking tour: Our own Mr. Beer, Dick Kreck, has designed a tour of Denver’s watering holes that includes a night at the Grand Hyatt and a free beer flight at Breckenridge Brewery, two pints at the Denver ChopHouse & Brewery, a tour and tasting at Flying Dog Brewery, a flight of beer and a 20 percent discount at Great Divide Brewing Co., two pints at Rock Bottom Brewery, and two beers at Wynkoop Brewing Co. The package starts at $139 and is offered weekends throughout the year. The tour is self-guided, but Kreck will lead a group on April 28. | Grand Hyatt, 1750 Welton St., 1-800-233-1234 or visit granddenver.hyatt.com for reservations | Kristen Browning-Blas
New Cava Greens: The salad tossers have opened a new shop where customers in the hospital neighborhood can order arugula, artichokes, roasted beets, quinoa, toasted pumpkin seeds and just about any other salad ingredient you can think of. Top the hand-tossed veggies with seared salmon or caramelized tofu and homemade dressings. Don’t skip chef Patrick Fox’s soups, and watch for more “bowl food” coming soon. | 827 Colorado Blvd., 303-928-8044 | Kristen Browning-Blas
