Tue update: Rehab MNF special, Rizzo’s lunch, Third Thursday party, India Fest, City Market holiday open house

Sometimes you don’t find out about great specials until it’s too late. Last night I was checking Facebook, and Rehab Disco posted that they were open for Monday Night Football with a 12×12 foot big screen, $13 all-you-can-eat wings, and 12 pitcher specials. I messaged JJ and asked if they had those specials every week. He said yes, so it’s a deal to keep in mind for next Monday!

The Hungry Memphis blogger had lunch at Rizzo’s Diner today. Check out the pics.

It’ll be a bit chilly, but the Third Thursday party on Main between Gayoso and Peabody Place is happening this Thursday, October 20. Live music by Grace Askew, WAMPA, and the Daddy Mack Blues Band. Retail specials and food and drink specials in area shops and restaurants. It kicks off around 5:30.

This isn’t a Downtown event, but you might want to put on your calendar that India Fest will happen out east on Saturday, November 5. It’s a celebration of Indian food and culture. I’ll post more details as the date draws nearer.

City Market is ready to take care of your holiday cooking this year. Call 901-729-6152 to order a traditional Thanksgiving meal that can be easily reheated per the chef’s easy instructions. Orders must be placed by Monday, November 21 for pickup before noon Thursday, November 24.

On Thursday, October 27, City Market will have an open house. Holiday menus and pre-order forms will be available at that time, and there will be a sampling of some of their pies and desserts. Open house starts at 5 PM. Free food? Wonder if the Nuh-Uh Girl will show up.

Just drove home from work in the blowing rain, and damn, Memphis drivers are idiots. It amazes me how people don’t get the “when you turn your wipers on, turn on your headlights too” thing. Didn’t you get taught that in Driver Ed? I think it was state law when I took my driver’s test in Arkansas years ago; not sure about Tennessee, but if it’s not law it’s just common sense. In conditions of reduced visibility, why would you not take that step to announce your presence to other drivers on the road? It’s not like it will cost you anything or slow you down if you take half a sec to switch on the lights.

Not sure what I’m doing tonight. I’ve kind of been enjoying having Tuesday nights that weren’t automatically planned by trivia. Then again, if people text me I might go over there. Right now, I need a beer or two to get over that drive home!
