The Ripple Effect

The Bite:
imageCan a glass of water start a small wave? Yep. During World Water Week, now through Sat., Mar. 22, order tap instead of bottled at hundreds of participating restaurants, add a buck to the bill, and for every dollar raised, UNICEF will provide a child with 40 days’ worth of safe, potable water. (Nationwide, more than 8,000 eateries have joined the campaign.) As if we needed another reason to hit up The Gage for a tasty Scotch egg or DeLaCosta for a delish dish of ceviche. Spend a buck here, make a splash there.
Wanna Try: 
TAP Project, Mar. 16-22 at participating Chicago restaurants. Donation, $1.
