FRIDAY
Satisfy Your Stomach
Head over to Boxcar Grocer by 8pm and indulge in their new menu of heathy sandwiches packed with fresh veggies and herbs from local farms. The basic cheese sandwich known as "the coaster" sends my heart a-leaping at mere mention of its name. You may notice all of their sandwiches are named after trains, a nice nod to the passenger rails of the past that run alongside their Peter Street location.

Grown & Sexy Fridays at Indigo Bar
Honestly, I hate Indigo Bar-- it's a rooftop patio with no soul. However, it continues to be a rooftop patio that is always filled with truly grown & sexy people. It's ok to want to party with people your own age and at Indigo Bar you can do it.
RSVP to www.guestlistfridays.com and take advantage of $5 Ciroc, Long Islands and Martini's.
Indigo Bar | 619 Edgwood Avenue (above Miso Restaurant) Old 4th Ward
