The perfect date night awaits at FYR Short North! Join us for our Dinner for Two special, available Monday through Wednesday beginning April 6. Three courses are available for $75.

The National Veterans Memorial and Museum (NVMM) will host Portraits of Courage: A Commander in Chief’s Tribute to America’s Warriors, a collection of original paintings by former President George W. Bush. The exhibition opens to the public on August 8, 2026.

The exhibition features more than 60 portraits of post-9/11 service members and Veterans, each one hand painted by President Bush and paired with a personal story of service, sacrifice, and resilience written by the former president.

The NVMM is open Thursday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

We are hosting a standalone TTRPG once a month for teens and want you to join us! Each game will start and finish that day so you do not have to attend each month. You do NOT have to have experience. All our games are 100% beginner friendly. We always choose rules-lite systems to make jumping in easy, and we’ll teach you to play as we go!

GAMES:

October 10: Business Wizards
November 14: Dialect
December 12: Honey Heist
