Bookish Events This Week!
Some people are made for the club scene. They enjoy the dressing up, taking shots at home, traveling with friends to an underground spot, and then dancing and sweating it out for the rest of the evening, letting go of all inhibitions while teasing and attracting other wild and sexy
Fill It Up – $1 Tacos and $2 Chelas at Taqueria Pancho Villa and El Toro
Generally speaking, this small family of taquerias isn’t the cheapest in the city, but the quality is better than most (super-bland Can-Cun anyone?)

FREE Food and Drinks with The Green Zebra
