Bits and crumbs

Mimi’s Cafe plans to raise awareness about women's heart health during American Heart Month this February. On Feb. 1, guests who "Go Red For Women" -- meaning wear red and dine in -- will get a free cup of signature soup. Throughout the month, if you donate $1, you'll get to put up a card showing your donation; $5 gets you a pin; and all donations go directly to the American Heart Association. Also, on each Tuesday of the month, guests get a free cup of soup with a donation.

Pure restaurant in Matthews, a Georgia-based taqueria chain, has closed.

Rooster's at SouthPark hosts a Gerard Bertrand wine dinner Jan. 29 for $65. Among the offerings: smoked, seared salmon belly with black rice and Minervois; grilled quail breast and leg confit with Tautavel; and short rib with Chateau Hospitalet. 6601 Morrison Blvd.; 704-366-8688.

Paco’s Tacos & Tequila has a new express lunch menu: 11 a.m.-4 p.m. daily, you can get an array of combos (small chopped salad and taco, quesadilla or chili or tortilla soup) for $7-$9; tacos for two for $11 and more. Specialty Shops on the Park; 704-716-8226.
