"Summer Saturdays are the best excuse to start scraping the bottom of the friend barrel for someone whose birthday it is, just so you can have a valid reason to day drink and bar hop around the city. And after you find out that someone has no birthday plans and you selflessly volunteer to strategize for them, you should start at Palm House. Their open-air front porch on Union Street is the best place to get a feel for what’s going on in the rest of the neighborhood, all while you drink boozy slushies and plan the next stop so you don’t spend the whole day in one place." - will kamensky
