Is it just us, or does August feel like a pop quiz in “how to make the most of summer before school starts”? From laser-fueled nostalgia and smoky barbecue pairings to after-hours playtime and high-energy laughs, this week’s lineup brings a little something for night owls, foodies and over-caffeinated parents alike.
With the heat still holding on and the calendar filling fast, consider this your excuse to take in the arts, eats and maybe a museum dance break or two — curiosity (and comfy shoes) highly recommended.
