MONDAY
FOOD & DRINK
Dine Around Seattle
During Dine Around Seattle (not to be confused with Seattle Restaurant Week), which runs until March 31, more than 50 restaurants throughout the area are serving three-course dinner menus for just $33, with many restaurants also offering a three-course lunch for $18. Even better: When you make reservations online through dinaroundseattle.org, a donation is made to the Rainier Valley Food Bank, which serves roughly 12,000 people every month from its tiny 1,200-square-foot facility on Rainier Avenue. ANGELA GARBES (Sun-Thurs)
MUSIC
Gogol Bordello
Few bands double down on jubilant spectacle as hard as Gogol Bordello. The so-called “gypsy punk” outfit, consisting of charismatic singer Eugene Hutz and a revolving door of multi-ethnic and international musicians, blends big, simple rock hooks with accordion, violin, and a quirky sense of humor that is equal parts snarky and literary. At first brush it’s the Clash for NPR listeners, but deeper listens reveal a strong dedication to George Clinton’s funk sound, as well as big Def Leppard-ish hooks. JOSEPH SCHAFER
