New: On a Roll Sushi
After a year of being victimized by Murphy's Law, Dominic and Teresa Moreno opened On a Roll last week at 63 E. Congress St. With more than 60 seats, the downtown restaurant is open Tuesday through Saturday from lunch until 10 p.m. on weekdays, with hours extended until 2 a.m. on weekends. Check out the daily 4 to 6 p.m. and late-night happy-hour specials; 622-7655. Please support downtown businesses--especially new ones that take a risk during the construction.
Drink Beer for the Cure
During the month of October, locally owned Thunder Canyon Brewery is donating 25 cents for every pint of Octoberfest beer sold to support employee Maggie Kipling, who is participating in the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Three-Day Walk for the Cure in Tempe in November. Kipling and her team, Esperanza, will walk 20 miles each day. Thunder Canyon Brewery is located at the Foothills Mall; 7401 N. La Cholla Drive; call 797-2652 or visit Kipling's fundraising Web site.
