Dunaire Dined Out!


Our first "Dunaire Dines Out" event was a nice success. We had 15 Dunaire diners turn out to enjoy an evening at our local Dunaire Applebee's. Our next "dine out" will be in September - either an weekday evening at Savage Pizza in Avondale Estates, or a Saturday breakfast at the Original Pancake House on Memorial Drive. If you have a preference, please leave a comment here, or e-mail us at DunaireNeighbors@aol.com. We'll keep you posted here!

Dunaire Dines Out - Applebee's



Mark your calendar, and join your Dunaire friends and neighbors at our first "Dunaire Dines Out" event on Wednesday, August 25th.  Our first "dine out" will be at Applebee's at 4705 Memorial Drive.  We'll meet at the restaurant at 7pm, and everyone will be responsible for paying their own check.  Each month, we'll meet at a different local restaurant, and days and times will vary.  Upcoming "dine outs" will take place at Savage Pizza, All Island Cafe, Original Pancake House, Prima Italian / Injera Ethiopian, and Dragon Delite.  It's a great way to get to know your neighbors, check out a new restaurant, and support local businesses.  

If possible, please send an e-mail to DunaireNeighbors@aol.com so we can give the restaurant a rough idea of how many will be attending. 

Dunaire Trivia Fact:  Our local Dunaire Applebee's opened January 1st, 1980, and was actually the very first Applebee's restaurant!   Originally, the restaurant was known as TJ Applebee's Edibles and Elixers. Since then, it has grown into a chain of nearly 2000 restaurants across North America and Europe.

Dunaire's Night Out!



Dunaire's participation in National Night Out was a great success!  Dunaire neighbors lit up the neighborhood with porch lights and a nice time was had by all at the cookout and the flashlight walk.  Several folks suggested we have a monthly "Dunaire Night Out," so keep checking here for more information.
