I took the day off today. Wanted to get the car in the shop and get it looked over. I’m driving to New Orleans in a couple of weeks and want to be sure the car is road-worthy. Let’s see what I can find to write about…
Ferraro’s Pizza has announced that starting next Monday, July 12, they will have a happy hour from 5 to 7 PM with a dollar off beer.
The Smoking Up High series continues next Monday, July 12, on the Madison Hotel rooftop. There will be a selection of fine cigars from Havana Mix for you to buy, or you can bring your own. There will also be a rooftop tapas menu to complement the cigars, and a cash bar. Reservations are recommended because space is limited – 901-333-1224. The series continues through September and is normally held the first Monday of every month, but was moved in July due to the Fourth.
The World Cup final will be Sunday afternoon at 1:30 PM. Are any Downtown bars doing specials for this event? Let me know at paul@paulryburn.com and I’ll post a list.
It looks like AntiDuckface.com is going in alphabetical order for their “50 states of duckface” extravagnza. Last I checked they were on the K’s, so it will probably be a day or two before they make it to Tennessee. I have it on good authority that at least one TN duckface pic has been submitted.
The Peabody has tweeted that it’s hiring for the following positions: bell captain, bell person, cocktail server, banquet bartenders & servers, banquet beverage captain, front desk supervisor, front desk agent, Corner Bar bartender, room service server, room service cashier, Capriccio Grill cook.
Today is National Fried Chicken Day. Lunch/dinner recommendations: Gus’s, Miss Polly’s on Beale, Alcenia’s.
After I get the car back, may meet a friend for lunch and some pool… will be at the Saucer at 7 for trivia. Don’t forget that it’s also Bardog Tavern’s pint night, with all pints $3 from 7 PM to close.
