Sips and gulps: Ian Sherman benefit, Frank’s Place, Tao
Friday night (May 30, 7:30 PM) will see a slew of bands band together at a D-22 to raise funds for Time Out music editor Ian Sherman, who is fighting cancer. The lineup includes Carsicks Cars, Arrows Made of Desire, RandomK(e), PK14, and Snapline, among others (RMB100 at the door).
Saturday night sees Frank’s Place (v2) celebrate its second anniversary, from 7 PM. The event will raise funds for the Red Cross.
Those saddened by the closing of Mare Nostrum will be gladdened to know that two of the chefs have shifted to Tao (Lucky Street). (Thanks to reader S&B for the tip.) The weekend brunch (noon-3 PM) includes eight starters, seven main courses and three desserts, from RMB168 (30 percent off during June). Free-flow Spanish sparkling wine is an extra RMB50. To reserve a table, call 5867-0209.
No commentsMare Nostrum to close
Upscale Spanish restaurant Mare Nostrum will close as early as tonight. I talked to someone at the restaurant, which opened only last year, who cited problems with the landlord. It is unclear if the place will re-open elsewhere in Beijing.
(A hat tip to The Cellar Rat for the heads up.)
