Charity Spaghetti

If ever there were a win-win, it's this: You grab one or more packages of dried pasta, you bring it down to Ferré, the nouveau Italian joint in the West Village (3699 McKinney Ave., to be exact,) and you hand it over. The Ferré folks will send it along to the North Texas Food Bank, and in return, you get a 20-percent discount off your next Ferré lunch. Feel good, and fill your tummy too. The Pasta Drive takes place through July 31 during restaurant hours. Visit ferrerestaurant.com.
