The Weekender: May 15 - 17

It’s 70 degrees, the weekend is in sight, and we’ve got big plans…to build some raised beds for our garden. Just another activity to check off the list of quarantine clichés (you know, like organizing the closet, baking bread, playing Yahtzee…). We digress.

We’re just as bummed as you are to have heard about all of the summer cancellations this week, so here are a few things that aren’t cancelled for this weekend: 

 
City Park Glens Falls NY

Ice Cream: Yep, Martha’s and Rob and Deb’s are both opening this weekend! We’re sharing this suggestion in a hushed whisper because there’s a decent chance that EVERYONE will be headed out for ice cream this weekend, so, our disclaimer alert: be safe, wear your mask, practice social distancing, and be prepared to change plans if there’s a huge crowd. And most of all, enjoy your ice cream! You’ve earned it ;) 

Cocktails to Go: We just saw that Radici Kitchen is now offering cocktails to go - yes, please! By the way, if you haven’t tried their take-out yet, click here to check out some of our favorites - perfect for a porch date night!

Adirondack Theatre Festival: Okay, so the in person event is indeed canceled (agh!) BUT we are psyched to hear that they’ll still be offering an On Demand option! This cancelation is a huge bummer for downtown as well, as it always draws so many folks who patronize other businesses before and after the shows. Check out their On Demand offering here and consider making a donation if you’re in a position to do so - it will support ATF in this off-season, you’ll get access to cool content, and bonus - $25 of every donation will go towards purchasing a gift card to the local restaurant or shop of your choosing. Win-win.

Food Truck Corral: Not this weekend, but we wanted to give you a heads up that the Food Truck Corral at The Shirt Factory is back (with lots of new precautions in place!) next Thursday, May 21 from 4-8pm. Sounds like they’ll have a website for pre-order / pre pay / curbside pickup going live in the next few days, so stay tuned on their Facebook page for updates!

Have a great weekend!
