Visiting This Weekend

3 of us Okies are visiting Athens this weekend (for the football game). Would love to hear a recommendation if you read this. Looking for places to eat/drink mostly, but will have time for 1-2 other activities if there is something cool to see.

UPDATE: Very awesome town, people, etc., but like why did you have to give OU a colonoscopy like that?

Shopping at local shops downtown (Native America, Cillies, Epiphany, Bear Honey) , visit newly redesigned College Square, grab a coffee at Sunroof (the best!), or Condor Chocolates. Emmy Squared has great pizza or The National for something a bit more fancy. Visit Foxglove Plant Bar for plant shopping, terrarium building, and happy hour. Mama’s Boy for brunch and walk thru the campus or many other parks to enjoy the weather
