NORTHBROOK: Pasta buffet plus bluegrass

Thursday nights from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. there's a BYOB Italian pasta buffet at Northbrook Marketplace on Route 842 east of Unionville. And reader Bette from Unionville was nice enough to write and let me know that in addition to the "family night" food, a band "has become a fixture at Thurs. dinner time.  They are a bluegrass group of about 7 in number...no name for the band since they just show up and have a jam session. Their performances are very professional and entertaining."
