    What does that mean $10 will get you?  Well each week there are different breweries and distilleries featured, on Wednesday from 7-9 pm.  You’ll receive:

    • A taste of the featured bourbon
    • 3 tastes of the featured breweries (a la a beer flight)
    • 2 full pours of featured breweries (read: 2 beers)
    • And an order of tator tots…ALL FOR $10.

    Depending on the brewery, some nights reservations are required but most of the time, they are just recommended. Check out the calendar to see which breweries will be featured over the next few weeks!  I like too that if you click on more details about each brewery, you’ll even see which beers they are sampling.

    journey of our world, expressing the deeply moving beauty of planet Earth as seen through the eyes of astronauts.  This show was actually created in collaboration with NASA, and features an 80-minute live performance by musicians against a backdrop of orbiting visualizations of Earth from space.

    If you like space, music or Apollo 13, I’m betting this show is for you. Performances will be held May 15 and 16 at 8pm, and tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door.  You can purchase tickets here. The show is on 21st St between 10th and 11th Aves.
