Pubs and Fries

Patton Alley is a great place to happy hour it up (everyday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. and all day Sunday!). Their domestic beer on tap is ½ off (we think, it’s cheap anyway) and all their appetizers are half off!!! We suggest their pub fries. Or that you get the fried okra (or mushroom *or pickles!!* because we don’t like one of those, respectively), and then tell us how it is, because honestly, I refuse to waste $4.00 on poopy fried pickles. Especially when I could just make them myself.

Erin makes some beastin’ fried (or stuffed she says) mushrooms and I HATE mushrooms, so I don’t think Patton could beat them.

Just sayin’.

Anyway, go there. It’s great. Also, they have trivia night on Thursdays and Sundays. It’s pretty great. We swear. We know ‘cause we were just there, so ha!

On another note, EPIC DAY  today.

We took pictures on the Springfield French Fries.

You know what I’m talking about. Pictures will follow soon. Swear.

The end! Have a good day! Go to Pricecutter and talk to Jonathan; he knows what is UP.

Ps. Please help us come with a great Springfield beer scavenger hunt. We're thinking about the best places to get beer. Thanks!

Best Beer!

Picture with arms up!!

Picnics in the Park

So 417 Magazine wrote about the best parks to go to in Springfield, but they're not us, so don't read that, read this.

Phelps Grove Park, behind the Springfield Art Museum, off of Bennet Street, is the ABSOLUTE best park to go to in Springfield.

It's so quiet and pretty and chill.

You'll like it. Honest.

We have been there before, partaking in an impromptu finals week Jimmy Johns picnic. It was wonderful. A great place to get away right in the middle of town!

However, a very very very delayed picnic has been in our plans for quite some time now (like...since March). Wednesday night we finally were able to have it and it was fantastic beyond any hopes. "And dreams" - Erin

So pack your basket, make your Mojitos-to-go (the BEST picnic beverage **put them in a plastic pitcher for transporting), and grab a blanket and your favorite ceramic friendship head and go right over to Phelps Grove.

We'll be waiting.
