The weekend has risen.
Your Perks include a kit with ghost peppers, secret spices and the juice from award-winning pickles—all for making 10 to 12 killer Bloody Marys. You’re also getting beautiful, limited-edition surf photography, and 30% off at Banana Republic when you Perk with an Outlook.com account. (If you somehow don’t have one, get on it.)
Here’s a sushi-related feel-good story to start your weekend. The defunct Sushiyama has been resurrected and reopened by a former customer. It’s now called Yama Sushi, so that’s nice/easy to remember. The menu’s mostly the same, plus a few new additions. Like hot bowls of ramen. With steam and everything.
Because you need more crawfish in your life, Downtown’s dedicating a whole day to the things. Just head to Main Street Garden. That’s where you’ll find live music, frosty beers and screens for watching March Madness. Oh, and crawfish. Can’t have a crawfish boil without crawfish.
Shinsei. Great spot for sushi. And this Saturday, it’s also a fine spot for after-hours partying. (But still, eat some sushi first.) They’ll have a DJ set up in the lounge. So, after dinner, retire there with a cocktail. Then, unretire and do the worm.
Beer is delicious. And yoga... is also a thing. And when you combine the two, well, no idea. But it seems worth investigating. So head to We Yogis this Monday. After some stretching, posing and downward dogging, you’ll taste beers from Widmer and Redhook. That ought to center your chi.
Beers, a rooftop, John Candy in a dog suit... Sure, why not. It’s all happening Monday at Sundown at Granada. You’ll show up, buy a round of drinks, wish everyone a happy April Fool’s Day and point yourself in the direction of the screen. Because that’s where Spaceballs is playing.
