Roosevelt Room Cropped - 1
Eat!
In regard to The Roosevelt Room, “drink!” is perhaps the more fitting verb. Cocktail enthusiasts and history buffs can find common ground at this eccentric Bridge Park bar. Cast in amber-colored light and chock-full of thoughtful allusions to Theodore Roosevelt, the space allows patrons to “speak softly and carry a stiff drink” for the duration of their stay. From “The Rough Rider” – a subtly saccharine combination of white rum and refreshing lime juice – to “Ketel Hill” – a balanced mix of fruity flavors including peach and strawberry – each beverage possesses a distinct flair waiting to be discovered.

Read
In Things We Never Got Over by Lucy Score – the premiere book in Score’s Knockemout series – romance blends with comedic absurdity to create a memorable narrative. Chaos ensues when 36-year-old Naomi travels to the fictitious Knockemout, Virginia to reunite with her twin sister Tina. Tricked, robbed and deserted by her wicked counterpart, Naomi is thrust into the guardianship of a previously unknown niece; moreover, she can’t seem to stay away from the small town’s gruff yet gorgeous barber. It has stayed on the New York Times Bestsellers list for the last two months, and when you check out this fun and engaging tale, you will understand why.
