Five Things to Do This Weekend
Celebrate St. Paddy's Day, pick a summer camp for the kids, or donate a prom dress
Welcome to "Five Things to Do This Weekend," a Dunwoody Patch column that sifts through the long list of events competing for your time to offer our pick of five things worth doing with your time off.
Please email jasonmassad@gmail.com with any tips for this weekly feature. We'll get your event announcements on our page and some will be featured in this column.
1. Head out to the Dunwoody Tavern on Saturday for food, fun and maybe a little college basketball. The tavern has televisions out on a patio that's open when the weather cooperates. And it should this weekend. The chef prepares a special menu for St. Paddy's Day, and the bar has 16 different import and craft beers and a wide selection of Scotch. Celebrants should arrive early for the best spots. The place is expected to fill up early. The Derby also has a traditional menu for St. Paddy's Day. Be sure and wear green.
