EatDenver Dining Deck
Quick holiday gift idea: The EatDenver dining deck, which retails for $50 and holds 52 coupons for $10 off at dozens of Denver restaurants — a $520 value. Good from Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, 2011. A dollar from the sale of each deck goes to Food Bank of the Rockies. Available at the Tattered Cover. Hit for info.
Come see Lidia!
Television chef Lidia Bastianich visits Denver on Saturday to read from and sign copies of her new children’s book, “Nonna Tell Me a Story.” She’ll be at the Tattered Cover’s Colfax location from 1 to 3 p.m.
Happy birthday, Maria Callas
Tabloids turned her life story into a salacious drama, but they couldn’t take away the fact that Maria Callas was one of the greatest sopranos of the 20th century. She’d be 87 tomorrow; anyone for a Diva Quaranta?
