Weekend roundup 3/5

Oh sweet weekend, how I've yearned for you all week long. My big plans including some couples bowling tonight (in a real bowling alley, not Wii!) followed by some attempts at yard work on Saturday. Lounging, relaxing and whathaveyou to follow.

Now that we've reached the month of March, events will begin to bloom - even if the flowers haven't started quite yet. Out of hibernation we emerge for wine tours, live music, new happy hour specials and more. Keep your eyes tunes to my blog and my column for all the treats spring has to offer.

Appalachian Brewing Company is a venue that keeps busy year-round, but March is extra-hopping for them, too. Click here for a chance to win a $25 gift card to ABC, good on food and brews.

The rest of the news starts after the jump:

Weekdend roundup 2/26

Snowicane or no snowicane, one thing is for certain: I'm taking this weekend to chill out and unwind a bit. Busy week! On Sunday, I'm most excited for brunch at Devon Seafood Grill with two of my best girls for our tri-birthday celebration. All three of our birthdays fall within three weeks (and we're all Pisces), so we try to do at least one thing together each year. This year, it's Devon's $3 mimosas, $4 Bloody Marys, $1 Blue Point oysters and other lovely goodness - just us girls.

As you'll see by tomorrow's column, Mother Nature is playing a cruel joke, dumping snow on a snow make-up day. Mizik for Haiti (this time I wrote about the right date) and the Bill Ayers speaking event at Midtown Scholar are both slated for this Saturday, after being snowed out the first time around.

Please stay safe, but should conditions permit, here's what else is going down:

Weekend roundup - Christmas Edition

I'll be out of town with the future in-laws for Christmas Eve and Day, but you can see what bars and restaurants are open these days by clicking here.

I'm back on the weekend for more family holiday cheer - plus oodles of relaxation and taking in both new and old favorite restaurants and bars until the new year.

We have an abbreviated schedule of weekend activity - now through Sunday - but look for most bars and restaurants to resume a normal schedule by the weekend.

In the meantime, I wish you all a very merry Christmas, good health and good times. Cheers!

Here's what's going on:

Weekend roundup 12/10

Good morning, and welcome to the Weekend Roundup. I'm busy downloading all of Amazon.com's free Christmas MP3s and figuring out the few things left on my Christmas shopping list.

This weekend, I'm attending a friend's Christmas Threw-Up Party, an annual girl-fest with too much food, wine and lots of cheer (plus a fun gift exchange). It's become a highlight of the season we all look forward to. Can't wait! Aside from that - it's the final gift purchases, Christmas cards and, of course, housecleaning. Ah, the glamorous life.

Tons going on in the area as we approach the holidays. Fear not - it's all listed below:

Weekend roundup 12/3

Good morning, and welcome to December! I am nominating 2009 for the fastest year ever.

Start your weekend by visiting me at The Hotel Hershey this Friday, Dec. 4 from 3-5 p.m. for a special book signing opportunity of my Hershey travel guide - it makes a great holiday gift for out of town guests or the Hershey lover on your list.

Saturday, I'm hoping we'll find time to look at a wedding venue or two (quick poll: would a blog on my wedding planning interest anyone, or is that market saturated?), plus wrap up my Christmas shopping and maybe even decorate a bit.

Tomorrow's column takes a quick review of Donnie Brown's new Black N Bleu restaurant, located at the former Juliana's on the Pike, the details on Tuesday's annual Friendly Sons' Toys for Tots party - plus info on a special winemaker's dinner in Gettysburg.

Here's what else is shaking:
