Hey Jude

If you're seeking a good excuse to enjoy some delicious holiday-season treats, drop by Michel Richard Citronelle on Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. The restaurant is hosting Sweet Hope, a charity event that benefits the children at St Jude Children's Research Hospital. Anyone who brings an unwrapped child's toy or game can enjoy Richard's famous desserts along with coffee, tea and eggnog.

Not only will you get an instant karma boost by brightening the holidays of a sick child, you can enjoy some of the best tarts, cookies and sweets in the area. Among the recommended gift contributions: Crib activity centers, Lincoln logs, Mr. Potato Head, books, puzzles and gift certificates. Find out more about the suggested gift list by calling 202-625-2150. Monetary donations also will be accepted, with all proceeds going to the hospital. No reservations are necessary; just show up, do a good deed then splurge away.
