🌵 Get fantastical with botanicals
If you’re quick, you might have your pick of bouquets using same-day flower delivery. (We’re eyeing those locally designed arrangements.)
Or, get creative and nab a potted plant from these plant spots. Nothing says forever like a hardy succulent.

🥂 Keep spirits up
If you didn’t score reservations, don’t overthink… grab a drink. The following spots have weekday happy hours:
- Revolution Winery & Kitchen | Monday-Friday, 3-6 p.m. | With deals on vino + eats, wine club members can enjoy happy hour all day on Wednesdays.
