So I've been a wee bit under the weather. While I'll be back to work tomorrow, I wanted to get out a few event ideas for you this week. My friend Chrissie Conboy was kind enough to let me post her calendar this week. Enjoy!

Cupid.com/PreDating Speed Dating

Students and Young Professionals

Everyone's been talking about it and you've probably seen the concept on popular TV shows but have you gone to one yet? Cupid.com/PreDating is a fun and efficient way for busy singles to meet. You'll meet up to a dozen others in your age and interest group through a series of six minute "PreDates" at a local club, café or restaurant. Cupid.com/PreDating then emails each guest a list of participants who would like to hear from them again! Odds are you'll have one or more matches (more than two-thirds of PreDaters match with at least one person).
The Walk- Midtown
April 9th, 2009
Join Metropolis weekly for a social bar hop! Each week our "Walk Captain" picks a different Saint Louis neighborhood for us all to explore together. This week is Midtown!
6:30-8:00 Cafe Ventana - 3919 W. Pine Blvd., Saint Louis, MO 63108
Café Ventana brings to Saint Louis the look and feel of a upscale French Quarter bistro while offering deliciously comfortable foods. From French style beignets to incredible locally roasted coffee to delectable sandwiches, salads and soups, dining at Café Ventana is truly a culinary experience. Our irresistible beignets are made fresh to order using our hand-crafted recipe. The relaxing decor features gas lanterns, antique chandeliers and reclaimed antique doors from the French Quarter, a beautiful Italian fountain in the cobblestone alley (laid with reclaimed brick from the St. Louis Riverfront), an artisan crafted outdoor fire pit, a stone hearth fireplace inside, super-comfy indoor and outdoor furniture, and an interesting blend of modern and antique accouterments.
8-9:30 Terrene - 33 N. Sarah, Saint Louis, MO 63108
Terrene is truly a unique St. Louis restaurant. It's the only place that focuses on a sustainable lifestyle using ingredients from local farmers, and much of the décor is made from recycled materials. More than just eco-friendly, Terrene is also known for its simple and fresh American fare. The seasonal menu includes the popular Tofu on a Stick appetizer with peanut dipping sauce, grilled flatbreads and organic chicken, pork and sirloin entrees. During the summer, the secluded patio offers a charming al fresco
9:30 - Close Scottish Arms - 6-10 South Sarah St., Saint Louis, MO 63108
When you step into The Scottish Arms restaurant and bar, you probably won't hear the familiar strains of Scotland the Brave, but you will find traditional Scottish food (including Haggis) and a wide assortment of Single Malt Scotches. Although the Scotch may seem intimidating, a simple question to the knowledgeable bartenders will have you up to speed in no time, pairing food and drink like a pro.
