As I mentioned in a previous post, the most direct way we can help maintain those locally run venues and services we enjoy in the uptown area is to get out and support them, incorporating them into our social lives. That's definitely something I've started to take into consideration when making social plans with friends, especially with the closing of my favourite martini bar.
Last week, when checking out the directory, I came across a ballet at the Imperial Theatre that I was interested in and attended Tuesday this week. From the balcony, Katie and I watched the Ballet Jörgen perform the story of Cinderella. It was a really great performance and I would definitely attend another show by this ballet company in the future!

Also on my list of things to do: the Spring Fling at Market Square on the evening of Wednesday, May 5. The event description promises glamour and luxury. All I know so far is that the event is a fundraiser for the Boys and Girls Club and includes all things sounding good to me: spring fashion, food, entertainment, and then the good loot: giveaways and prizes! Count me in! Tickets are $35. (Click below)
There`s also a new restaurant (Bourbon Quarter) and tapas bar (Alley Gria)- both on Prince William Street- that I still need to check out- maybe that will become a venture of this weekend!

We went to the Bourbon Quarter last night. The restaurant is beautiful and the food was delicious! They also have the most adorable cafe beside it (same owners and same kitchen, but set up as a separate restaurant).
