The weekend can’t even.
Your Perks: 1) A new pair of summer sunglasses. They’re 100% handmade and 20% off. 2) Portable battery cases and packs to keep your phone charged for twice as long. Because it’s a marathon... 3) Smokeless fireplaces and mini waterfalls. Also known as the world’s most interesting office decor.
Definitely in order for tomorrow: happy hour with plenty of Chambord and rum and Frangelico. You should probably get some cocktails, too. Because that other stuff’s already in the donuts and sauces that STK is graciously bestowing upon you for National Donut Day. Best fake holiday ever.
It would probably come off weird if we suggested you go shopping for records, art and socks in Downtown this weekend. So here’s a little context. Fourteen shops are popping up over there for the summer. Places like Criminal Records, art galleries and a random sock store. Maybe still a little weird.
Ice cream: nice. Vegetables: eh, not so bad either. Putting the two together: well, you’re probably undecided. So decide at this new vegetable-flavored ice cream contest at the Peachtree farmers’ market. You’ll sample flavors like beet butter pecan and carrot. If you see kale ice cream, leave. Leave hard.
Smoke Ring is having a blue crab crack in anticipation of the Belmont Stakes on Saturday. You know the kind. There’ll be newspaper-covered wooden tables on the patio. Mint Juleps and big hats everywhere. You cracking open crabs and beers and going, “This is so great.”
Some people take bike fashion very seriously. Others take being entertained by people who take bike fashion very seriously, very seriously. Whichever category you fall into, the Spindle is hosting a cyclist-inspired fashion show with food to eat, beer to drink and a Rick Astley playlist to... nod to like everything makes sense.
