Something about Christmastime

Every year the Urban Deli gives their waiters/waitresses the day off on Dec 24th. Volunteers (usually customers) are used as servers instead of their regular staff and all tips are going to be donated to the SPCA Animal Rescue!
Looking forward to seeing how generous customers will be this Christmas.
Elizabeth Rowe (owner of Urban Deli & Italian By Night) and her husband John Mallory are the lucky owners of Whiskers (a beautiful kitty adopted from Saint John shelter) and Storm (a black Labrador also from the shelter).
Donations are being accepted and customers are welcome to drop off any food or toys at the restaurant.

Sweeney Todd tickets winner!
Congratulations to Kim Killiam, winner of complimentary Sweeney Todd tickets, donated by the Saint John Theatre Company. It runs tonight through Saturday and if you are not familiar with Sweeney Todd (the Demon Barber of Fleet Street), let’s just say it will give you pause the next time you get a haircut or eat pie. 😉
Congrats again to Kim. And if you’re taking in this wonderful musical, why not plan on having some lovely Italian dining before the show with Italian by Night? Just a thought!
