The Rickshaw: Medium wing-less Monday

Fans of The Rickshaw will have to live one day without their medium wings as the place closes from 7 AM on December 17 until 7 AM on December 18 for what we will call “staff training” (karaoke, anyone?).

This is also a good time to mention two other items:

- The Rickshaw’s new winter menu item: beef stew. It’s a tasty dish of chunks of carrot, potato and beef, with two buns on the side, and roasted cloves of garlic.

- The Rickshaw has the NBA package. I’ve been popping in on the odd afternoon to catch the day’s highlights and some of the NBA Classics.

Hockey Morning in Beijing: ANOTHER delay of game

What can I say…

Hockey Morning in Beijing at Cafe St. Laurent is postponed AGAIN - the puck was to drop December 16 instead of December 9 instead of December 2.

At first, it was like a two-minute penalty for delay of game. Then it was like a five-minute major. Now, it’s like the arena’s lights have gone out and we don’t know when, or if, they’ll come back on.  It’s not clear when things will be up and running, so don’t go circling December 23 on your calendar just yet. I’ll provide an update on the situation as soon as I get news.

In the meantime, keep your stick on the ice, keep your head up, and keep control of your craving for Tim’s.
