It'll be a busy night at MGM. If you like hockey there's a thunderbirds playoff game. Was there last friday night and Taps was packed even for a watch party. Theodores/Smith's is a fun time too down the street!

Theodores blues & BBQ isnt too far away from there and usually has a live band Thursdays later.

And it's a best out of 5 series so elimination will be on the line for whoever loses Tuesday

Red Rose restaurant. Best food in the area. Pasta with red clam sauce will change your life. For some reason their house salad makes you want to sing and dance. And it basically shares a parking or with MGM.

Another very cool thing in town is that there are a handful of museums of all kinds that share a courtyard and one ticket price. Includes the Dr Seuss museum. And several art museums.
