If you want to eat some good food Downtown in 2015 at a discount price, next Wednesday, December 3, is a big day for you. I had previously mentioned the 3rd would be the day of the Majestic Grille’s annual half-off gift card sale. Now Kooky Canuck has announced that they will also do a half-off gift card sale that day (both the Downtown and Cordova locations). They make great stocking stuffers, or you can use them yourself!<\/p>\n
Here’s another gift card offer – At Felicia Suzanne’s, get a free $20 gift card for every $50 gift card you buy. Offer runs Wednesday through Sunday of this week. More details here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Brass Door is doing a Black Magic<\/a> show Friday and Saturday at 8 PM. The show features three of Memphis’ top stand-up comedians: Mo Alexander, Spanky Brown, and Just Larry. From the event listing:<\/p>\n “WARNING: THIS SHOW IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART! Tickets are $10 in advance, $15 at the door.<\/p>\n Bass Pro is getting things moving on its bowling alley<\/a> in the Pyramid. YESSS!!! Of all of Bass Pro’s amenities, this is the one my friends and I are most likely to use. The bowling alley will be inside Uncle Buck’s Fishbowl and Grill and will have an underwater theme.<\/p>\n There’s a Groupon<\/a> for So You Think You Can Dance Live that is currently running. The show is December 7 at the Orpheum.<\/p>\n Another Downtown Groupon is running, this one for Spaghetti Warehouse<\/a>. You can get two $20 gift Groupons ($40 value) for $25.<\/p>\n I’ll mention one more Groupon as well, this one not a Downtown one but it’s one of my poker buddies’ restaurant: $19 for two-course seafood dinner<\/a> at Boneheads.<\/p>\n Local has announced a new happy hour from 11 AM-7 PM Monday-Friday. $2 domestic bottles, $3 select draft beers, $3 well drinks, $5 wine specials. From 4 to 7 they have a happy hour food menu including thin & crispy potato chips, loaded tater tots, baked buffalo cheese dip, short rib grilled cheese, and BBQ duck nachos.<\/p>\n Choose901 reports that Slide the City<\/a> will be coming to Memphis in summer 2015. This is a 1000-foot water slide. There will also be live music, food, and drinks.<\/p>\n In case you missed it: Grizzlies forward Zach Randolph passed out 450 holiday boxes<\/a> filled with Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings to families in need. Z-bo’s family relied on holiday boxes when he was growing up, and now he’s in a position to give back. I am so happy the Grizzlies found a way to keep this man in Memphis through at least 2017. What a positive role model for the kids.<\/p>\n FreeWorld is playing this Saturday at the Flying Saucer starting at 9 PM. No cover.<\/p>\n Posting a bit early today because I’m about to get handed a high-priority project at work. It’s possible this may be the rare night when I don’t get out at all. That’s the news for now, see you tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you want to eat some good food Downtown in 2015 at a discount price, next Wednesday, December 3, is a big day for you.
