Cathy Browne at the On The Edge pub
Edge gastropub at 303 Columbia street at Carrall. There’s room for everyone and a new menu to enjoy. As always $20 gets you dinner and a drink, and if you want to order additional items you can start a separate bill.

This came in an email as well as a FB update from our old friend Sean Cranbury. If I had any cash, I’d be down there, because they have an extremely unusual selection of fascinating books of which you’ve probably never heard, as well as many fascinating ones of which you have. It’s never a mistake to take a flyer on one of theirs that looks interesting.
