Three cheers for three years! On Thursday, April 28, 2011, Portland, OR will be celebrating its third year of Dining Out for Life. Dining out at a participating restaurant means 20% to 30% of the bill will go directly to EMO’s HIV Day Center and The Partnership Project, both of which provide programs and services to people living with HIV/AIDS in the Portland region.
One participating restaurant is the Blue Monk. Whatever a makes a monk blue, it must have something to do with delicious dinner options and impressive beer selections. The Blue Monk’s dinner menu is offered from 5pm to 1am, perfect for people with who don’t do the usual 9 to 5. Described as “large portions of East Coast Italian food”, Monk offers spaghetti and meatballs, chicken parm, vegan lasagna, and more. And beers like Chimay White and Franziskaner (the original Hefe-weizen recipe) are on tap.
Another option is The Original. The Original’s full name is The Original Dinerant, and has a menu inspired by American supper clubs of the 30s and 40s, and diners of the 50s. This restaurant offers all day dining. No really. All. Day. They have a breakfast menu, brunch menu, lunch menu, happy hour menu, dinner menu, and late night menu. They offer breakfast options like eggs benedict, pancakes, and omelets; lunch options like salads, an open-face turkey sandwich, and burgers; and dinner options like beef stroganoff, gnocchi, and scallop Rockefeller.
