PickMe is an app that lets you call cabs (trishaws, nanos, cars). It mostly works and the company is responsive - we think they'll keep improving.

Achcharu Kade Cafe Closing (But Cooking Goes On)

Achcharu Kade Cafe graduated from the Good Market to their own shop in Colpetty, but now they're shutting it down. But don't worry, they're still doing Good Market Saturdays and lunch and dinner delivery and take-away. So you can still eat the food, there just won't be a permanent shop.

May Day Traffic And Rallies In Colombo (2015)

This May Day, as all May Days, the best advice is to avoid Colombo by vehicle altogether. While it can be fun to watch the floats go by, the day makes traffic in the city impassable.

Harpo's has a new stand-alone pizza parlor in Nugegoda. Almost by default it's one of the nicer places in that town now, and it makes for faster delivery to the suburbs - from Kotte to Battaramulla.
