Use Your Noodle

As if the delightful Noodles & Co. weren't good enough on its own merits — certain bloggers are addicted to the Japanese pan noodles, while the big-as-your-head Rice Krispie treats offer a marshmallowy temptation — the new location opening in Hampton Village kick things off with a nice nod to the neighborhood. On Wednesday and Thursday, May 16 & 17, a full one hundred percent of the restaurant's take will be donated to Francis Park (another of those city parks that aren't run by the city), through the "48 Hours for Francis Park" fundraiser. It's the first time the chain has done such a donation level, and the cash will be used to buy playground equipment and commission an original sculpture.

C'mon, eat some noodles for a good cause!
