Last December, the Preservery, 3040 Blake Street, launched Giving Meals its way to allow customers to purchase a warm meal for people living on the streets in Five Points. Since then, the restaurant has given away 2,500 meals to its unhoused neighbors. On Thursday, May 6, the Preservery is holding a fundraiser to benefit the program. Restaurant co-owner Obe Ariss will take the stage with a classical piano performance; for $12, you can reserve a seat at one of two shows (5:30 to 7 p.m. or 7:30 to 9 p.m.). The cover charge pays for two meals for someone in need, and you ll get to hear live music for the first time in 150 years and enjoy the eatery s excellent eats and drinks (the cost of food and drinks is extra). Buy your ticket or just give a straight-up donation on the Preservery s website.

Project Angel Heart, the nonprofit organization that provides medically tailored meals for people living with serious illnesses, is now in the second year of revamping Dining Out for Life, its signature fundraiser. Normally, participating restaurants donate a portion of their sales for a single day in April to Project Angel Heart but with restaurant dining rooms shuttered last year and many eateries still on life support, some changes are in order. In 2021, the event has been expanded to run from Friday, April 23, through Sunday, May 2, and restaurants are not bein
Tuesday, April 20 Union Station s Stoic & Genuine, at 1701 Wynkoop Street, will be less dispassionate and more authentic than ever on Tuesday, April 20, when it excitedly throws a mess of fresh crawfish into the cooker and serves them up with all the traditional sides andouille sausage, potatoes, corn and housemade biscuits for a proper boil starting at 3 p.m. The bar will also be mixing up Cajun cocktails (we foresee at least one beverage that includes a shake or two of Tabasco). Reserve your spot either on the patio or in the dining room ($65) on Tock.
Denver s 4/20 rally has gone up in smoke for the second year running, but you can still get munchies at Steuben s, 523 East 17th Avenue.
