We pick the restaurant, handle the details, and provide conversation starters
You just show up.
If you've been craving conversations with substance (the kind that remind you why community matters) then this is for you. If you want to reserve your limited spot (or read about it more), just click below:

🍳 New Biscuits on Washington Road in Evans
At 4274 Washington Road in Evans, Biscuit Belly opened in October with scratch-made biscuits, breakfast sandwiches, and brunch plates. It's the third Georgia location for founders Lauren and Chad Coulter, who grew up near Athens.
The Bonuts are biscuit doughnut holes with cinnamon sugar and bourbon cream cheese frosting. On Veterans Day, Nov. 11, veterans dining in can get a free biscuit sandwich with bacon, sausage, or chicken, plus hot coffee or a fountain drink.

🍴 Foodees Fest heads to the 5th Street Bridge
The Gist: Foodees Fest runs Nov. 6-8 at the 5th Street Bridge on Reynolds Street. Organizers expect about 100 food vendors, plus artisans. Destination Augusta and the Augusta Sports Council estimate about 80,000 visitors, according to Augusta Business Daily.
Why It Matters: The two tourism groups project nearly $1.4 million in local economic activity from the festival.
What's Next: The festival opens Friday from 1 to 7 p.m. and runs Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Admission is free.

🅿️ Riverside Village parking changes Nov. 8
The Gist: North Augusta will relaunch paid parking in Riverside Village on Nov. 8. The Hotel and Stadium decks will offer two free hours, while designated on-street spaces will require payment at all times. Drivers will pay by scanning a posted QR code, and each paid transaction carries a 55-cent convenience fee.
Why It Matters: A quick stop at a Riverside Village business can stay free in a deck, but a paid street space costs money from the start.
What's Next: Apartment residents should register their vehicles through their property managers before Nov. 8. Parking violation penalties begin Dec. 1.
