More than two dozen San Francisco restaurants, including Asia SF, Ella's and Butterfly, are donating 25 percent of their proceeds on April 16 to Stop Aids, a community-based group aimed at halting the spread of HIV.

The public can donate to "Dining Out for Life" simply by eating at any of the participating restaurants next Tuesday.

For a list of restaurants and information, log on to www.diningoutforlifesf.com, (http://www.diningoutforlifesf.com,) or call Christian Minchillo at (415) 575-0150, Ext. 274.

Same deal in Toronto, but on wednesday, April 17. For details/participating restaurants, see www.atasteforlife.org (http://www.atasteforlife.org) or call 416-205-9888, ext. 11

In the interest of signal-to-noise (i.e. travel to non-travel) ratio, I'm moving this to OMNI.
