You know I love and often eat at Town Hall Grill in Southern Village. This is where we had our Friday Night Dinner during the last Science Blogging Conference (photographic evidence here, here, here and here) and more recently a little local meetup (see also Lenore's review of the evening, and note she was nearby recently again).
Anyway, Town Hall Grill now has a new website (with a new URL), and the chef, Chris Burgess recently completely redesigned the menu: my old favourites (lamb kebab, chopped salad, chicken-under-the-brick, filet mignon and NY strip) are still on the menu, but there are new excellent additions: the salmon arugula salad and pork scallopini, to mention just a couple. And for a weekend lunch with beer, the marinated chicken sandwich, the cheeseburger, and the roast beef sandwich are excellent choices.
The best stuff is usually a couple of specials, something new every week - this week Mexican Meatballs, last week pork sliders - sometimes I like the special so much I go there 3-4 nights in a row just to have that before it goes off the menu.
What they have that is really interesting, is Village Voice - a series of "town hall meetings" scheduled for this year where you can come and meet local politicians. The series is designed to raise awareness, inform the voters, get people more politically engaged.
The purpose of the forum is to provide people with the opportunity to engage with political, environmental, and business leaders in a comfortable, thought provoking dialogue regarding current issues in a "town hall" style format.
I had to miss the first one (with Dr. William Lawson, Republican - Candidate for U.S. House District 4), but I will try to make it tonight (Monday, July 14th at 4pm), when local citizens can break bread with Senator Ellie Kinnaird, (Democrat - North Carolina Senate District 23). If I do, I will report about it here late tonight.
