Consider your stockings stuffed at Rocket Fizz (115 Clairemont Ave.)! This throw-back soda pop and candy shop is piled high with vintage sweets, salt water treats, whoopee cushions, Wonder Balls, and just about every soda flavor imaginable. Go retro with NuGrape and Moxie or get really wacky with bacon, pickle, or fresh-cut grass in a glass. Surprise and delight your party guests with family-friendly fizz in the cooler, too. Or show up with a six-pack at your next holiday soiree. Silly sips sure beat a bottle of wine for host/hostess gift fun factor! Kids may as well stock this store. Toys, trinkets, games, and gags will whirl and wow on the big day, and you’ll get the gift of giggles.

Look for sweet specials on Terrific Thursdays! See store for details.

white-bull

Eat good food at The White Bull (123 E. Court Square) in Decatur. This enticing restaurant is farm-forward and chef-driven with a vision. Sip a passionately crafted cocktail. Warm up with buttered sfincione (free on Terrific Thursdays). And settle in for shareable small plates that are truly special, seasonal, and sustainable. Their daily menu invites prized peak produce to play nice with house-milled grains, grass-fed meats, fresh seafood, locally laid eggs, and more. The White Bull’s menu is tuned into the seasons and farmers’ bounty, rather than food trends or even a particular genre of cuisine, so their food is always fresh. Both literally and figuratively.
 
Terrific Thursdays at The White Bull: Dine in and enjoy free sfincione (puffy Sicilian bread) and house-churned butter with your meal purchase.

All Aglow in Decatur

Posted in Retail & Restaurants, tagged on November 12, 2018 | Leave a Comment »

holiday-lights

Decatur is brightening things up as days get shorter and temps get colder! Cultures around the world hold festivals celebrating light during the winter months, and Decatur has joined in by adding sparkle to our seasonal streetscape. Days got darker starting Nov. 4; Diwali, the Hindu festival of light, kicked off on Nov. 7; and Decatur began brightening up over the weekend. You can “bah humbug” if you have to, but deep down you know that bright lights look lovely all winter! – And they shine on shops, restaurants, and local businesses during dark months. Win, win.

Go ahead and get in the spirit! – Decatur already has with Terrific Thursdays, which started Nov. 1 and continue to bring sales, special events, and good cheer through November and December. Mark your calendars for Small Business Saturday and Santa on the Square on Nov. 24, too!
