For my friends who did “No-Spend January” or “Frugal February,” this week’s Friday Five is for you, and you deserve it. I’ve got all the markets and festivals to usher in spring and then I am wrapping things up with brunch on Sunday and a rum tasting on Monday. So, without further ado, get in loser, it’s time for your Friday Five!
Where will you be watching the games this month? Our spot for games is West Raleigh’s favorite, Bru’s Public House. Bru’s is a great place to catch all of the March Madness and Final Four action. We’re going to treat one lucky winner to a $50 gift card to experience it on us. But, the good news does not stop there. Bru’s is opening a second location in Carrboro this spring and you will be able to use the gift card at either location!
Head to Moore Square on Friday, March 1, for a family-friendly Women’s History Month celebration that is fun for everyone.
