LES Weekend Guide.

It'd be tempting to only focus on CMJ events this weekend, but there are, as always, plenty of interesting/fun/adorable/enlightening events to be endeavored in the LES, so we thought we would offer a little bit of both this weekend. Have fun running around in this perfect Autumnal stretch, and stop by and fill us in on all of the fun that you had.


Eat & play well,


Tiny's
