How the night flows
Go early: Slap's runs 11 AM to 7 PM or until the meats sell out, and late afternoon can already be thin. The Blue Palm is a few minutes' walk up the hill and opens at 4 PM Wednesday to Saturday (2 PM Sunday), so this date runs Wednesday to Sunday. It is 21 and over. Neither posts prices as text, so the cost is a planning estimate.
