Tidbits

- MUG gives us their latest Hot List, featuring recent openings Little Owl and Japonais, among others.

- The good folks at Epicurious have launched Wine. Dine. Donate, an online and offline program to benefit America's Second Harvest. The online component gives you all you need to host a fundraising dinner at home: a monthly menu from a featured chef with recipes and wine pairings, shopping links, and hosting tools like placecards and invitations. Offline, you can attend fundraising dinners in different cities (none are currently scheduled for New York).

- If the lines weren't enough to keep you away from the Shake Shack, perhaps the health violations are. According to the site, those requiring immediate actions have been addressed. Yikes. [Thanks to our email tip on that one.]

- In case you haven't heard yet (although we're not sure how you could miss this one), Joël Robuchon has arrived at the Four Seasons with L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon; they begin accepting reservations tomorrow, so set your speed-dialer to 212-350-6658. Restaurant Girl managed to sneak in a visit during the soft opening.
