Ask for Katie and tell her Jamie sent you -- she'll make you whatever you can dream up! It's a great sports bar, open late, and very close my little AirBnB! Feel free to walk there and stagger back if you wish ;) Don't let the fact that it's sitting under a DoubleTree Hotel deter you -- it's a great restaurant with great service, food and drink.

The Botanical Gardens are an internationally known destination for folks with a fondness for flora, regardless of the biome. Look for the bench my family dedicated to my younger sister, Kelli Dee O'Mahony, who died in 2016. Her life was joyous and happy, and although she left us too soon, the bench is a celebration of that memory. Find it in joy! Lift her up in prayer and give thanks for the blessed life we all get to share!
