so, spring will officially be here on saturday! thank goodness! i’m not sure how much longer i could take this rainy, icky winter weather. what does spring mean? besides a quick trip or 2 to the tanning bed and super cute sun dresses - drinks outside of the patio! zink american restaurant on tryon has an awesome patio that is sure to be back just about every afternoon from here on out.

even thought it was still a little chill yesterday, the patio at zink was filled with people (myself and one of my girlfriends included) having drinks outside. they’ve got different drink specials every day, yesterday happened to be half price wine by the glass, and with a different special almost every day you’re sure not to get burn out drinking the same thing every afternoon.  the patio also has plenty of tables, so you don’t have to fight for a seat.  and they’ve got aps and sushi that can help tie you over until dinner. another great thing about zink is that they serve food until 2am on the weekends, which is perfect when you’re coming home from the bars, starving, and want something other than taco bell or cook out.
