EVO Bakery
Moon Pies
What could be more appropriate than a Moon Pie today? Thanksfully, EVO Bakery has that ish on lock. But it looks like they’re going fast. Better hustle.
[location-2] SOL Southwest Kitchen & Tequila Bar
SOL’s party starts at 11 a.m. so you have plenty of time to chug their eclipse-themed specialty cocktails. The restaurant will also be giving out free glasses while supplies last. And there will be live music at each location on the patio from 4-7 p.m.
