The below list showcases some of my favorites selected from years and years of diligent “research”. In addition, below are a couple of quick suggestions for attending:
- Take your bike or public transportation – parking is crazy and enforced.
- Bring a backpack with some water from customwater.com – $4.00 for a bottle of H20 is insane anywhere.
- Many are dog-friendly, so why not bring your best friend along? (And extra water for Fido!)
- Email me if you are going, so we can meet up!
