This Monday is Cinco de Mayo — a holiday WNXP’s Marquis Munson loves to call “Cinco de Drinko” in his best frat boy voice just to get under my skin. He’s not wrong about the day’s perception, though, for an unfortunate amount of celebrants.
Out, About: How to dry January in a drinking city
Let’s be real about this for a moment: Nashville is a drinking city. So what do you do when you’d like to take a pause — for a month, for the year, forever — in a place like this?
Out, About: Christmas celebrations for elves of all ages
While our annual list is still on the way (patience, people!), it did get me thinking about how much the Christmas cheer is devoted to drinking with your 20-and-30-something friends in this city. So, here’s some options for the whole fam.
Out, About: (Early) Halloween celebrations this weekend
