Taverna Rossa Fundraiser; Franconia Beer Dinner

PLANO—Do you like drinking, trashy reality TV and being charitable? If so, Taverna Rossa's upcoming fundraiser might be right up your alley. On Tuesday, January 7 from 6:30pm-9:30pm the restaurant will host a fundraiser benefitting the Children's Advocacy Center of Collin County, and last season's Bachelorette contestant Zak Waddell will be on hand for photo ops. Ladies' night will be in effect all night with 1/2 price glasses and bottles of wine, $2 off drafts, $3 wells, $5 house wine (for dudes), and $8 RossaRitas, Rossa Mules, and Spicy Bloody Rossas.

OAK LAWN—A new year is here, and therefore you should probably do a juice cleanse or something? If you're into that, Roots Juices now as a storefront on Oak Lawn and besides multi-day (and rather pricey) cleanse programs, you can also pop in and snag concoctions like the ideal-for-hangovers "Liver Cleanse" juice made with beets, carrots, apple, aloe and ginger.
