DECATUR— Paper Plane is turning one, and to celebrate, they're throwing a party, "fancy dress" encouraged. For "members and non-members only," the event begins next Monday at 3 p.m. with sherry and snacks on the restaurant's patio; at 5 p.m., dinner service begins. All the details are on Facebook.

OLD FOURTH WARD— April Fools' Day is next Tuesday, and while no one yet knows how Across the Street will revamp itself this year, Nation's Restaurant News takes a look at the previous switcheroos pulled by the (usually) Mexican restaurant. Past reincarnations include total remakes as an upscale French bistro, a barbecue joint, and a beach-themed cafe. [EaterWire]
