$10 for $20 Worth of Indian Fare at Anarkali Restaurant (50% Off)
Sometimes a burger and fries hits the spot.  But there are times when you want something that tantalizes your taste-buds just a bit more.  Try the tandoori at Anarkali – that’s meats, veggies and breads cooked in a traditional Indian oven.  Or opt for appetizers like the much-beloved samosas (savory pastries stuffed with meat or veggies) along with the tantalizing Chef’s Specials.  Since they make everything to order and to your taste, you won’t find it too spicy (for the kids) or too mild for you.  If your kids haven’t tried Indian foods yet, they may surprise you by taking to it instantly.  Kids tend to love the bright orange color of the tikka chicken, and gobble warm naan slathered with a sweet chutney.  Lunch specials start at just $6.95, and dinner entrees (a la carte) range from $9.95 for the vegetarian fare to $25.95 for the Bombay lobster.  Too busy and tired with the holidays approaching to cook?  Take the night off, and treat your family to a delicious Indian feast!

Rock of Ages at the Pantages Theater Benefiting The Oscar Litwak Foundation
Tuesday, February 22, 2011
See this musical Broadway show based on the tunes created by the most electrifying rock bands of the 80’s all while helping fulfill the dream of having a Mobile Playroom in every floor of every hospital where a sick child needs to play. The Oscar Litwak Foundation was created 7 years ago to honor the memory of Oscar Litwak, who lost a 4 year battle with cancer of the kidneys (Wilm’s tumor). With the Mobile Playroom program the Foundation has been able to bring toys, games, arts and crafts, and a little joy to many hospitalized children. To date the Foundation has placed 52 Mobile Playroom units in hospitals all across the country, 1 in Israel and 3 full playroom facilities in Mexico, but there is still much work left to do. There are many hospitals waiting for a Mobile Playroom and we are getting more requests each and every week.

Tickets: $125.00 Per Person / $250.00 Couples
