#PlanAhead: April 16-20, 2018

Still recovering from your Columbia Food & Wine food baby? Yeah, me too. Now that Monday has made its inevitable return, it’s time to buckle down + plan out all your #mustdo’s for the week. Between the Columbia Fireflies + Gamecock Athletics, there are plenty of opportunities this week to get your baseball cap ready + enjoy a brew by the field. The annual Artista Vista event is also coming to town this Thursday, which can only mean one thing: I’ll be tempted to buy a few pieces for my new apartment... maybe snag an ice cream from Marble Slab while I’m at it.
