It’s that time of year again when locals flock to restaurants participating in Dine Around Seattle. In its 15th year, 63 local restaurants are offering three-course prix fixe meals. This year’s lineup includes past favorites such as Poppy, Preservation Kitchen, and Local 360, as well as some new entries including Tray Kitchen, Pomerol, and Ravish. The Seattle Good Business Network is donating 50 cents for every reservation made to the Rainier Valley Food Bank, all of which will be matched by Umpqua Bank with a donation to Dine Around Seattle. The event runs throughout March, Sundays through Thursdays. (Karma points are earned this year by booking through OpenTable.)

The Capitol Hill Blog reports that Euro Pub and Bottle Shop will open on Broadway in mid-March. What was once a humble bodega will become the latest option for your drinking pleasure, to feature 10 rotating taps (including growler service) and Eurocentric bottles for sale to you and your posse on Broadway.

Nano-brewery Outer Planet Craft Brewing on Capitol Hill will produce a mere 24 barrels a month and focus distribution in the neighborhood. The owners started brewing at home, and have developed Outer Planet with a unique sci-fi bent. In the future the brewery will offer movie nights and book launches and host local groups into the genre. Greetings, Earthlings! E
