Happy Tuesday!

The Adventure Cards are here, and they look GREAT! I’ve got 240 of them and they’re completely FREE.

Here’s how the cards work:

• Complete all 3 Adventures listed on the card (they’re all in Downtown Huntsville)

• Take a quick photo as you finish each one

• Scan the QR code on the card and upload your pictures (only I’ll see them)

🌮 Lola’s Cocina Opens in Jones Valley

If you live near Jones Valley, you’re in for a real treat. Lola’s Cocina is now open and ready for business!

The new Mexican restaurant has been turning heads in the area ever since the sign went up several months ago. It’s actually the newest venture from the restaurateurs behind Phil Sandoval’s!

They say Lola’s is a tribute to authentic flavors and the spirit of family kitchens. They’re banking big on Lola’s and are already working to open another location in Town Madison.

Be sure to check out the menu and drop by soon! They’re open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

🎶 MidCity’s New Sound Bar

Pretty soon, you’ll be able to sip on your favorite drinks in retro style at Perseus Sound Bar. The Mediterranean-inspired bar will be located in the MidCity area and will serve as a place to take in the joys of analog sound.

Vinyl bars have been popping up in cities across the country in recent years. It seems like the perfect way to relive the good old days or discover new music.

A grand opening is still a while away, but you can get an early taste of Perseus’ signature cocktails at The Lumberyard’s “Sunday Funday” event series. Perseus’ owner even served drinks himself last weekend.

😋 City Barbeque Coming to Huntsville

Pretty soon, you’ll be able to enjoy a Midwest staple right here in Huntsville. City Barbeque will soon open on Memorial Parkway in South Huntsville (near the Walmart).

The Ohio-based restaurant is quickly spreading across the country. Locations have already started popping up in the South, but this will be the first one in the state of Alabama.

Currently no word on when the Huntsville location is set to open, but we will keep you posted. In the meantime, you can check out the menu.
