Summer time is approaching and while that means we have to soon deal with finals it also means we are planning trips to visit family and friends. Sometimes though those people like to come see how we are living in Tallahassee. So, what do you do with them when they do? It always seems like there is so much going on throughout the semester but as soon as we have to become the "hostess with the mostest" our minds go blank. No worries, I have complied the perfect list of places to go with your loved ones.
Food.
Some people like to stick to just cooking for their guests but in Tallahassee that would be a disservice. There are so many delicious restaurants specific to the Tallahassee area. If your friends are down for brunch treat them to Canopy Road Cafe or Madison Social. Both of these places are always packed weekend mornings because people love their food, vibe, and service. When it comes to lunch/dinner you can not go wrong with Wells Brothers, Prime Time, or Vale.
Party.
You always want to give your guests the full Tallahassee experience. So, how does that one do that in such a short amount of time. Well even though summer offers us no football games you can still give them the tailgate experience with a quick trip to Heritage before happy hour or to Chi Phi for Deck Days. As for night life there are three special places that will definitely make your friends official Tallahassians. Pots if you enjoyed happy hour, Coliseum if you want to dance, and Recess if you feel like getting cute.
Outdoor activities.
If you rather get away from downtown Tallahassee for the day there are plenty of outdoor options. The Apalachicola National Forest, Wakulla Springs State Park, and Ginnie Springs are all great options for a day outside and they all are either in Tallahassee or close by. If you're looking for a more local park then Cascades is perfect, they always have events going on and have a cute restaurant on site as well.
Entertainment.
If clubs aren't your scene and its a little too dark to head to the park there are other entertainment options out there.Bird’s Aphrodisiac Oyster Shack offers more than just seafood, you and your friends can also get in the singing mood and bond over some karaoke. The Hobbit hosts trivia nights if you want to test your knowledge. And there is always the ol' fashioned movies or maybe a bar crawl.
