New Year’s Celebrations
Bardo’s rang in the New Year with style with a mid-Century New Year’s Eve celebration with Calvin Keys jazz Quartet.
Heart and Dagger Saloon celebrated the New Year with festive drinks, movies and a champagne toast at their NYE Bash — and they are open on New Year’s Day for a little recovery as well!
Giving Back:
Namaste is ringing in the New Year with the benefit class Warm Hearts Benefit with proceeds benefiting Camp Fire Relief through United Way of Northern California. “New Years Day is one of the most powerful days to practice, self reflect and heal. The intentions we set today will carry with us throughout the whole year. In this practice, we will begin with a deep meditation and intention setting for the new year.” This class is on 1/1/19 and taught by Sita Devi.

We are looking forward to the upcoming opening of Rico Rico Taco at 3205 Lakeshore! The owners, Ricardo Montero (whose family owns Tacos El Gordo) and his wife, Marisol Montero, (whose family owns Taqueria Sinaloa) are creating a delicious menu that will feature tacos al pastor, fish tacos, and tortillas made by hand on a very large comal. Members of both families will be preparing the food. We cannot wait to taste these scrumptious dishes in 2019! P.S. The Sinaloa brick and mortar in Berkeley was recently added to the latest Michelin Guide.
