What’s Happening- August
AUGUST is the Sunday of summer. You know you still have a whole month of sun, fun, long days and long nights, warm outdoor showers, sunscreen, beach games and the like. But there is an undercurrent of the change to come in a few short weeks. Take a minute, a deep breath or two, and remember, we do still have 31 glorious days. Here’s the scoop around the island, what’s in, what’s out, what’s new, and events to attend.
NEW WAYS TO EAT, SHOP, STAY, AND PLAY
Gail’s Salads has expanded to become Gail’s Market. They now serve smoothies like the Going Nutty Nanas, Going Berries, and Going Green, on-the-go parfaits, and snack bites as well as salads and wraps. They are located at 701 East 4th Street.
Sunrise Cafe is now serving dinner. Their new dinner menu offers fun choices like empanadas, buffalo chicken salad, chicken tacos, crab quesadillas, chicken cutlet sandwiches, filet mignon, and forbidden chocolate cake.
Henna/ Hair Wrap Heaven has opened at 712 Boardwalk. They also offer toys, accessories, and beach goods.
