When I hit the end of a long work day, there are usually two things I want: a drink, and a snack. Aspire Restaurant, 311 Westminster St., offers both, with a special discounted menu from 4pm-7pm, Monday-Thursday. They have 1$, 3$ and 5$ food items, ranging from jumbo shrimp cocktail, to stuffies, to artisan pizza’s, and of course a full bar. Visit their website for a full “Weekday Wind Down” menu. A great place to socialize, wait out the rush hour traffic, and let go of the day…head over there, get some great cheap eats, and take a load off!

Elemental Theatre Presents “Father, the Son and the Holy Go.Go”. The playwrights were given a challenge: to write a play set in a randomly-chosen common locale – a cabin. They were then each given three of the Catholic sacraments to use as they saw fit. The results are hysterical, heartbreaking, surprising, illuminating – the perfect way to begin 2010. Don’t miss out on fourth installment of the annual Go.Go Plays New Works Festival.Tickets are only $15, cash or checks only accepted. Call to reserve your ticket today, 401.447.3001.
