The cutest place to eat. Marcelino took care of us and was absolutely incredible. The apricot siracha wings and the angry spaghetti were 10/10. They have a cocktail list that is Instagram worthy. We will definitely be back again.

C & C Creamery is our go to ice cream spot. They have a wide variety of flavors and they release new flavors each season. Their prices are good, but expect to wait around 20-35 minutes because the lines can sometimes be insane.

Take a self guided tour through one of the most famous prisons. We love to tour the penitentiary around Halloween time. They do provide “spooky” after hour visits during this time as well.

The art museum isn’t just for art enthusiasts. This past weekend we went to visit and there was so much to see. Throughout the entire summer you can also go for free if you have a military ID. There’s a ton of art, armory, and places for quick bites ...

Uptown Beer Garden is an outdoor bar that goes all out for the holidays. They also have fun holiday themed drinks that come in little trinkets. Would definitely recommend going a few weeks before the holidays as it does get packed closer to the holid...
