I spent this evening with my mom for a night out on the town in Sturgeon Bay.
For us, that meant going first to The Gnoshery for dinner. It’s a board game cafe and my first time there. Unlike the board game bars from my time in Austin, this one doesn’t serve alcohol and closes at seven . . . but that said it’s very cool that we have a board game cafe in Door County. Uncrowded, a good sandwich, board games for sale, and board games you can play in-store. My mom and I tested a new game to us (“Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza”) that she ended up buying. Then we chatted and played cribbage for a while.
However, our main excursion was attending a play from Third Avenue Playworks (TAP): “Slow Food”.
The description: Peter and Irene are empty nesters looking to celebrate their big anniversary with a nice night out, but Stephen, their server, has other ideas. SLOW FOOD is a hilarious comedy that asks what do we want from life when what we need is something (anything!!) to eat.
My mom got us great seats (on the elevated back row where we were the only two people in the row) and it was nice to be out and supporting local theater. Plus masks were mandated which eases some of the anxiety so sitting in an enclosed space for an hour and a half.
Hopefully, I can see more shows this summer . . . there’s some Shakespeare on the horizon and I’d love to find a good musical.
With Love,
Natalie
