GO TEAM! Proving their hearts are in the right place, the folks at SusieCakes in the Bon Air Shopping Center in Greenbrae are handing out personalized frostingďŹ lled cupcakes as free treats to student athletes (12 and younger) who show up at the bakery in team uniforms. This giveaway lasts through April 30; hours are 10am to 7pm, every day but Sunday. CELEBRANDO LA GRAN APERTURA! Marin’s ďŹ rst large Hispanic supermarket has opened at 330 Bellam Blvd., San Rafael. Mi Pueblo took over the site of Circuit City and is attracting shoppers with its selection of ethnic goods as well as regular merchandise. Look for specials like a bag of 24 fresh oysters in the shell with limes and a bottle of hot sauce for $14.99, fresh Mexican cheeses at $3 a pound, four bunches of cilantro for $1 and beautiful Ataulfo mangos at 79 cents each. The market has prepared foods, as well. Hours are 6am to 10pm daily. 415/578-3971. MORE GOOD NEWS Another new food destination is Arizmendi Bakery at 1002 Fourth St., San Rafael. The worker-owned co-op with four branches is famous for hearty baked goods. Its breads are made from a decades-old sourdough starter and pizzas, available from 11:30am through closing, have what are referred to as “creative toppings,â€? not the typical choices made elsewhere. Pizzas may be purchased hot or “light-baked,â€? to be ďŹ nished at home. Ingredients used by Arizmendi are 80-90 percent organic. The Marin venue is in the brick courtyard in the center of town and has three or four tables inside, the same number outside. Hours: Tuesday to Friday 7am to 7pm; Saturday, 8am to 7pm; Sunday, 8am to 4pm. 415/456-4093. CELEBRATE SUSTAINABILITY Clever diners will reserve early for two stylish ways to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. April 18, the West Sonoma setting of Iron Horse Vineyards, with olive trees, organic gardens and acres of grapevines, will showcase Green Valley Goes Blue, a beneďŹ t for ocean conservation (noon to 4pm). Top Sonoma chefs will serve Hog Island oysters, grilled ďŹ sh, local vegetables and bread from Wildower Bakery; there will be a ďŹ sh taco truck for fun. A walk-around tasting will offer very local wines. Proceeds will go to Monterey Bay Aquarium for its Seafood Watch program and to the National Geographic Society’s Ocean Now initia-

tive. Cost is $50 per person. Tickets and details: www.ironhorsevineyards.com, go to Events...On April 22 (6:30pm), Marche aux Fleurs on Ross Commons will stage a festive Earth Day dinner in its recently updated dining room to beneďŹ t Marin Agricultural Land Trust. The ďŹ ve-course feast honors farmland preservation, a cause close to the hearts of owners Dan and Holly Baker. They create their menus from what is best at local farmers markets, specializing in house-made ingredients whenever possible. Cost of the evening is $55 per person; reserve at 415/925-9200. LIVE LARGE, PAY LESS Saving for taxes? Here are some hints for thriftier restaurant tabs this month: Finnegan’s, the Novato gastropub, offers free dinners to kids under 12 on Sunday nights from its Little Leprechaun menu (proper food like meatloaf, grilled chicken, ďŹ sh and chips); 877 Grant, 415/899-1516...Head to the Martini Lounge at Marin Steak & Spirits (1010 Northgate Drive, 415/755-6161) for the vanishing custom of free hors d’oeuvres. Drinks are 30 percent off, 5 to 7pm, Monday to Friday...The Cheesecake Factory’s happy hour features $5 cocktails and $5 appetizers 4 to 6pm, Monday to Friday. Those apps are no lightweights. Buffalo Blasts are chicken breast, cheese and sauce stuffed into spiced wrappers and fried, served with bleu cheese dressing and celery sticks. Another item is Fried Macaroni and Cheese—deep-fried crumb-coated balls of mac and cheese with marinara sauce. (The Village, Corte Madera; 415/945-0777.) ✚ Contact Pat at patfusco@sonic.net.
