Weekend Round-Up: A Trip Down Devine Street

Date night tonight--woohoo!  We have decided not to go see a movie this evening, but do happy hour and dinner with friends instead.

I think we are hitting up Publick House for happy hour drinks and apps--love their artichoke feta dip with pita bread.

Then, we're gonna head down Devine street to Henry's.  I've never been, but apparently they have awesome burgers and fried pickles, as well as a local sports-bar-type-feel.  I'm still missing Green's Sports Bar on Polk St. in San Francisco, so maybe this could be a replacement?  We shall see. 

I hit up Restaurant.com to get a $25 gift certificate for Henry's for $15--if you haven't used this site before, definitely check it out.  Awesome deals on restaurants in your area!  As an added bonus, when I checked to see if there are any current promo codes to use for Restaurant.com, I found one that gave me 80% off of my total purchase!  You read that right.  I bought a $25 certificate to Henry's and a $10 certificate to the Sheraton Roof Top Bar and my total was $4.  I felt like I was robbing the site!

Tomorrow we are going to try to finally make it to Baan-In, the Saturday brunch at Baan Sawan, featuring the Bone-In BBQ Truck.  For real, I have been talking about the sriracha pulled-pork stuffed French toast for weeks and have yet to try it.  (Hope they have it tomorrow!)

Then we'll head back down Devine Street to KD's Treehouse for their Little Back to School Party.  There will be live music from my friend Jamie Beresford, a book-signing by a local children's author, a 15% discount on KD's merchandise with a donation to charity, and much more!

Sunday we'll be squeezing in some pool time, I think.
What are you up to this weekend?

Weekend Round-Up

There are plenty of fun things to do in Columbia this weekend!  I will be attending my nephew, Ben's, 4th birthday party on Saturday, and Sunday I hope to make it to the Columbia Museum of Art with baby and hubs.

Ben's birthday party is being held at Woodland Park, a really nice, shady park in our neighborhood.  My sister has asked that instead of gifts for Ben, guests bring art supplies to donate to the kids in the after-school program at St. Lawrence Place.  What an awesome thing to do, don't you think?  Ben will get plenty of gifts from family members, so he won't miss out on presents, I assure you-- and what an amazing and easy way to teach kids about giving back to those less fortunate!

Speaking of talking to your kids about helping others, Central Carolina Community Foundation has introduced an initiative to do just that: help you Talk About Giving with your children.  There is a game you can purchase and play with your kids, and right now they are giving away a $2,000 award to a local non-profit.  (By the way, St. Lawrence Place would appreciate your vote if you have a quick minute!)

The Columbia Museum of Art is currently exhibiting Rembrandt: From Sacred to Profane.

And have you heard about their new monthly event: Craft. Bar. Happy. Hour?!  You bring your own craft project to the museum and enjoy snacks, adult beverages, good conversation and inspiration.  Craft kits are available for purchase, and a different local artist/crafter will be on hand each month to display his/her work.  Cost is $20.  This month's event is Tuesday, July 26th at 6:00 PM and the artist is Sally Peek of Nana Bags.  (Her bags are sooo chic!)

 Also, if I can swing it before the birthday party, we may head to Baan Sawan for the Bone-In Artisan BBQ Truck's  Baan-In Boozy Saturday Brunch!  Thai Bloody Mary's and Sriracha pulled BBQ pork-stuffed French toast.  Sounds awesome, right?
Follow the BBQ Truck on Twitter here so you always know where they are!

What else is going on in your life and town this weekend?
Happy Friday, loves!
