We spent last Saturday with the folks at Impact Investment Shujog (an advocacy and research social enterprise focused on Southeast Asian growth) for one of their monthly Impact Chats with social innovators. Past topics include “The Power of Seed Funding” and “Social Innovations out of India”. It all sounds very academic, but really made for an enjoyable weekend.

Opened back in 1997, the Da Paolo Il Ristorante on Club Street’s not the first place you’d think to eat. In fact, it’s probably been a while since you’ve been there. It’s pretty much fallen off the collective radar. 

Recent entries may have left the place behind in the food stakes. But here’s a wine deal that might make you want to go back. On Tuesdays, corkage for one bottle is waived with every two diners who eat in.
