As New Yorkers thaw out from winter's grip, Phipps Plaza wraps its arms around the coming warmth with a slate of events to herald the spring season. Kicking things off, the esteemed shopping and dining destination introduces Big Green Egg Week, a homage to al fresco grilling, from March 12 through 15, reports FOX5 Atlanta. A different flavor profile promises to heat things up at the Citizens Market Food Hall each day from 3 p.m. to the unseasonably warm 8 p.m. Expect a menu ranging from Taco Tuesday delights to Guinness Friday fare.
But it doesn't stop there. According to Simon Property Group, a pre-St. Patrick's Day bash is poised to dye Phipps Plaza green on March 16. Families can cavort from noon to the wee hours of 7 p.m., basking in Irish tunes, partaking in games, and smearing green paint on their faces. Lest not forget the spread of Irish-inspired grub and, yes, green beer to wash down the festivities.
March Madness enthusiasts can pivot to The Green the following week, with March 21 set to screen the first-round action of the tournament under an expected mid-to-high 60s sky. Trivia night officiants, meanwhile, will find their promised land every Thursday from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the food hall. There, brainy toilers will vie for glory and prizes for their encyclopedic prowess, as cited by FOX5 Atlanta.
Spring at Phipps Plaza, it seems, is less a gentle reawakening and more a carousel of gastronomy, games, and good ol' basketball. The plaza invites Atlantans to move past winter's doldrums and spring into the season with community and cheer. And for those keen on the details, beyond events, the vernal equinox is officially on March 19, with the meteorological start swinging in on March 1, a quaint detail for those tracking the Gregorian minutia.
