Smitty's, Shakespeare & Co and Other Weekend Fixes....

SMITTY'S

Any of you who know me well, know that Jake, Maddie and I spend a good deal of time at our favorite local restaurant--Smitty's. It's just around the corner from our home, has tons of daily specials, both drink and food and like Smitty says, it's a perfect getaway from the daily rigor of living in a landlocked town...my own personal Margaritaville of sorts. There is always someone there that we know and can strike up a conversation with and when the weather is nice, outdoor seating is a premium. Some of my favorite things about Smitty's:
*Karaoke on the last Saturday night of every month (the crowd is not really the regulars, but still fun)
*Margarita's, done the "Dr. South way", with a little splash of o.j. or the upside-down Pineapple Martini in a tall glass with ice made by Darla
*Grouper Nuggets and Monday .40 oysters with horseradish, cold cocktail and crackers
*Buffalo Chicken Quesdillia with onion rings as a side (best onion rings around-hands down!)
*Blackened Salmon Tacos with Chipolte Dressing--light, yet filling

SHAKESPEARE & COMPANY
If you need a read over the weekend or would like to sit down with a cup o' joe and read the paper in a really urban/bohemian atmosphere, check out Shakespeare & Co. located in the basement of THE FACTORY, Kernersville's newest retail/condo project on North Main Street. She has great prices and can usually beat the big guys on pricing and can order anything you need for next day delivery. Great coffee and she's now serving lunch as well! Support downtown!

RANDOM WEEKEND FIX
We're headin' to the rodeo tomorrow night! Jack Daniel's presents::: Bull Riding!! Both Friday and Saturday at the Lawrence Joel Coliseum...cheap entertainment for the whole family! Gives a whole new meaning to contact sport! So much fun! Grab a group of friends and their kids, stop in at Mellow Mushroom in downtown Winston for a pizza and speciality brew and head out for a fun-filled night of ACTION!
