Taipei 101 has been 86’d.

Chipotle Mexican Grill has opened a locale in Casselberry with a generate-through Chipotlane. I pictured a really long driveway the place a vehicle could transfer along slowly but surely and tell the burrito maker what ingredients to put in. But no, it is just a pick-up lane for digitally-placed orders. Which is no enjoyment.

I’m not sure a “boozy Mad Hatter tea party” would be a great deal entertaining, either, but just one is headed this way. It’s actually called The Alice: An Immersive Cocktail Practical experience that a press release would like us to feel has been selling out in Sydney and Melbourne (the one in Australia) and is starting a U.S. tour. And along with Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and Denver, Orlando is on the end record. It will plop down at the Oliv Bar in downtown Orlando from June 29 by means of Aug. 10. It will be all Alice In Wonderland-themed, with costumed characters and cocktails poured out of a teapot. I’m guessing you are going to hear “eat me” a great deal as the evening goes on.

And Corner Cafe, the Sanford restaurant that suspended typical hours at the commencing of the year to emphasis on catering, will get started opening one working day of the 7 days for what’s being billed as French Onion Fridays. you can get a pressed sandwich and a bowl of soup.

At this stage, I’m not even certain it will be on Fridays.

Curiouser and curiouser.
