Goodnight, Tuesday.

The weather forecast looks like we might actually start to see some “true” November temps soon (high of 37° on Thursday!) so I thought it would be good to highlight our list of…

I hope you find a new favorite hot beverage from that list! Enjoy! ☕️ 

ESSENTIALS FOR WEDNESDAY (11-20-24):

Weather: Morning showers with a high of 51° | 66% chance of precipitation

Wednesday’s Do: Element Eatery is hosting MixTape Music Bingo on Wednesday starting at 7pm. Element Eatery is a “modern day food hall” and includes a huge common space surrounded by lots of eateries. We love it because each person can choose his/her own food. And if you haven’t played Music Bingo, it’s fun! They’ll give you a Bingo card that has song names in the squares and as you hear the song being played by the “DJ”, you’ll mark it off on your card. First BINGO wins!

SIGN UP:
