December 1st: An Ethiopian Algonquin‏

Hi kids!


Hope you all left some room in your stomachs after Thanksgiving for a very exciting Algonquin at Sheba Ethiopian Restaurant, aka Marc Hurwitz's favorite restaurant in Miami. Sheba is an upscale establishment (we'll be sitting on chairs!), and truly is an adventure in eating.


Sheba is located at 4029 N Miami Ave in Miami's Design District. There is ample metered street parking available.


Dinner this week will be $35/person, which includes a three-course dinner, a glass of red or white wine, tax and gratuity.


Drinks are at 7:30 pm, dinner is at 8 pm.


Please rsvp to marc.hurwitz at yahoo.com by Monday at noon. Please note once you rsvp you are committed to paying, whether or not you attend.


Have a great weekend and see you Monday night!
