Of course, the number one thing to do tonight and over the next 24 hours is to visit Dirty Franks Hot Dogs downtown! The newest Liz Lessner joint features lots of hot dogs, original artwork, local music, and great cocktails such as whiskey with draft Frost Top root beer (oh yeah). It was really great. You should go.
At any rate. It's summer. It's full on summer. This weekend is, um, already the 4th of July. When I received my issue of Costco Connection this week, there was an advert in it for freakin' Back to School supplies!!! Stop the train! Or at least slow down!
All of that to say, if you've been putting off doing exciting summer activities, GET OFF THE COUCH!!!
As always, please feel free to write any additional events in the comments section!
- This Saturday is Gallery Hop in the Short North! Parking meters are free on holidays, just so you know.
- As a side note, most restaurants will be open on July 4th, since it is a Saturday.
