tucson improv movement

You’re urged to get decked out in your favorite Hawaiian or tropical attire and eat up the delicious feast provided by Island Plate Lunch.

On top of the scrumptious plates of Hawaiian food there’s going to be performances by Hula Mai Ka Pu uwai, Siva Maia Polynesian Dancers, and the Sounds of Thunder Korean Drummers.

Tickets are $35 for adults and $15 for kids. You can get more information on the ticket pricing by calling (520) 512-0144.

Proceeds will go towards buying new computers for the Pan Asian Community Alliance’s computer lab.

Since Tucson became the first city in the U.S. to be named a City of Gastronomy, chef Janos Wilder and others have traveled to other “sister” cities around the world to share the region’s culinary history and unique foods.

Now, Wilder is ready to share the flavors he’s collected. The culinary tour is making the summer’s final pit stop in Burgos, Spain.

Those living in Burgos tend to feast on roasted meats, the savory local cheese Queso de Burgos, and fish dishes such as Bacalao a la Burgalesa – despite being inland.

The menu is available for more than a month at DOWNTOWN Kitchen + Cocktails. Take a glance at the menu to give your taste buds something to look forward to.

To put the campaign in perspective, only 18 cities were chosen to participate in this year’s event, and out of those, only four U.S. cities are included.

That puts Tucson on the map with New York City, Los Angeles, and Oklahoma City.

Here’s how it works:

• Minor Figures is giving out 150 “Dairy Disloyalty Cards” to each of the six participating coffee spots
• Grab your “Dairy Disloyalty Card” from one of the locations
• You’ll order any coffee with any plant based milk (doesn’t have to be Minor Figures or exclusively oat milk)
• The participating cafe will stamp the card
• The first 200 people to order a drink to all six spots, and then tag Minor Figures in a post on Instagram will win a Minor Figures jersey

Participating Coffee Spots

• Big Heart Coffee
• Crave Coffee Bar
• Exo Roast Co.
• Hermosa Coffee Roasters
• Savaya Coffee Market
• Yellow Brick Coffee

You’ve got two weeks to get your card filled out, but don’t waste any time getting one of the limited “Dairy Disloyalty Cards” if you’d like to win the prize.
