Everyone knows that I do not write about restaurants, there are enough kiss ass blogs out there that love all the free food they can get it. This isn’t one of them.

But I will take a free drink. So guess what? It’s Negroni Week; one of my favourite classic cocktails now has a whole week (June 2-8) dedicated to itself. Bars and restaurants around the world will be participating in the week and not just in the name of good drinking but also good charity. All participating bars will be donating $1 from the sale of each Negroni to the charity of their choice. The restaurant or bar that raises the most will earn an additional $10,000 to their chosen cause. You know I can’t say no to a good cocktail or good charity. Some of my favourite restaurants and the charities they are supporting:

Toronto

New Orleans

New York

Chicago

I could go on and on , city by city but I don’t have time for that shit – I need a Negroni. Check out the full list here.

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.

This is Christian Dare Unedited.
