Dining and day trip suggestions?

Hi, I'm going to be in the area for a business trip in a few weeks and was hoping to get some locals' suggestions for restaurants and things to do on my weekend off.

I'm a bit of a foodie, and my birthday will be during the visit. Not looking to spend $$$$ but anything nice or unique would be cool.

I'm also down for anything local to do--anything to get me out of my hotel after a solid week of 9-5 meetings.

Thanks so much for your help!

Adding an internal pocket to this hat my cousin couldn't finish?

Hello, hoping to get a little advice on how to finish off this project I inherited.

My cousin lost her fight with cancer a few months ago. She was an absolutely prolific crocheter, especially during her treatments, and her husband recently encouraged everyone to take some of her materials and projects.

I'm a noob so I tried to take just her finished projects, some yarn, etc. But when I was unpacking them, this Christmas tree hat had a note saying it needed a pocket for the battery unit.

My question is... How should I do that? Just crochet a little square then sew it on? Or do I make a cloth pocket?

Thanks so much for your advice!

What'd I do wrong? (First time growing microgreens)

2 weeks ago I started trying growing microgreens in a self-draining windowsill planter for personal culinary use. It's definitely not going as I'd expected, and I'm not sure what I did wrong?

I used potting soil in the planter and radish microgreen seeds I'd bought online. (I read those are best for beginners.) As instructed, I put the seeds in closely, poured a little water on them, then topped it with foil and kept it in a closet for 3 days. Then I put it on the windowsill and watered it a few days later along with my other plants, which are weeklies.

When I put it on the windowsill, there was the fuzzy stuff near the roots but I figured it was normal based on what I'd read. We had some massive rains this week so lack of sun might have been an issue.

Any advice on how to salvage these or what to do better next time is appreciated!
