Thank you to CCDC for sponsoring this episode! Want to plan a fun date night on 10th Street? Here’s an idea: Get a reservation for dinner at Chandler's. Start with a 10 minute martini (delish), then feast on steak, seafood, soups & salad. Finish up dinner just in time to catch some live music at The Olympic. When the show wraps up, walk around the corner for a nightcap at Atlas Bar. The lime coconut cocktail at Atlas is one of my all-time favorites. Don’t want to drive home? Book a room at the newly renovated Hotel 43! PS - Don't stress about construction. Just park on a nearby street and enjoy a lil walk through our beautiful downtown. Chandler’s also offers complimentary valet parking!
