Guess what?  Capo is now serving brunch!  The wildly popular Italian restaurant that just opened on West Broadway, has expanded its hours to include brunch on Saturdays and Sundays.  Feast on such deliciousness as Eggs al Forno, Spaghetti Pomodoro, Meatball Panini and oh, yeah….jugs of wine!  Check out Keriann’s review here!

Drink:
Worden Hall has got a new patio and also a new late night bites menu!  We’ll raise our glass to that!  Sit al fresco and enjoy craft beer, or some house sangria – they serve it by the glass or by the pitcher!  The kitchen now opens until 12Midnight serving up bar bites like meatballs, poutine curly fries and steak quesadillas!  Sweet!
