The holidays have arrived. What could be better than throwing on a nice warm jacket and visiting local restaurants and eateries for some special holiday events and deals. From themed parties with drinks to sip and shop special holiday deals, there is a little something for everyone. Even the kiddos. 🎅
Start off with some new seasonal blends at Odd Meter Coffee and support a small local business.
Or if you’re not that into coffee, there’s also tea!
Stop at Jolie Tea Company for some of their themed tea times. Get your tea on!
How about a nice meal?
Finz Seafood is hosting a Breakfast with Santa that is perfectly child friendly with a full breakfast buffet!
