Patio Parties, Chiwawa, Grizzlies


Bleu is hosting a series of throwback Thursday night patio parties that will feature decade appropriate music, food and drinks. There will be a new decade each week, beginning with this week's 70's-themed party with DJ Rod. You don't have to dress to the era, but it might be cooler if you did. The festivities will kick off at 6pm. Future themes include the 50's (May 3), the 60's (May 10), the 20's (May 17) and the 40's (May 24).


For the past 30 years or so, Midtowners often wondered when a new business would open up in the old Chicago Pizza Factory of Madison. Now the wondering can end. Chiwawa will open later this year. After a few renovations, the restaurant will feature locally sourced hot dogs and authentic Mexican cuisine. Not sure on the concept, but its good to see someone taking advantage of the space and adding another great addition to the Overton Square/Madison Ave area.

Grizzlies playoff tickets went on sale yesterday. Most of the good seats were gobbled up, but there are seats remaining. If the Clippers lose to the Knicks tonight, the Grizzlies can lock up home court advantage for the first round with a over the Magic tomorrow night. Bottom line...Go Knicks! Go Grizzlies!
