Friday, July 30
Plan to begin the evening at West Central Wine in downtown Middletown at 6 pm: http://www.westcentralwine.com/
There is street parking or there is parking behind the wine bar.
Also, the store next door to West Central Wine is Design2Wear2. He will be open for us after hours if folks would like to pick up some Middie shirts and other items. They have some vintage shirts as well, like Armco, LeSourdsville,etc.
From there, everyone can explore Middletown. Steve Lewis provided the following to give you some ideas of places to try:
Thought I’d run through a few of the spots downtown and a few at other locations. I tagged a few folks to help let others see this. Don’t know if it will help but P & I try and stay local and are truly impressed with many of these businesses. Hope to see some of you. Safe travels!
1) Jug is still rockin
2) Combs bbq on Central along with House of Brews next door. On Central just down from Lincoln no longer school
3) Gracie’s on the corner of Verity and Central. Good food.
