Friday Five: No “Dry January” Here ????
If you are looking for “dry January” tips, you have come to the wrong place. If you are looking for ways to see some cool art, enjoy a cocktail, smoke a cigar, and have no idea what day it is, you are home. All kidding aside, we know it is only Thursday but one of our New Year’s resolutions is to take in more art so we are doing just that (while enjoying a drink or two ) and we wanted to give you plenty of heads up so you could join us at a new gallery opening this Friday! Let’s dive into our first Friday Five of the new year one day early because 2021 is not going to suck… we hope.
