Sunday’s Seasons has a jazz brunch. We were leaving early in the morning, so unfortunately we didn’t get to enjoy much of the jazz as it starts late morning. They were just getting started in the lobby as we were leaving. You can order a la carte or you can order the full buffet for […]

Co-owners Mary-Catherine Deibel and Deborah Hughes will close the doors to Upstairs on the Square on New Year’s Eve after being in business for over 30 years. I had my bridal shower in the Zebra room, so I wanted to make sure to go there at least one more time before they close up shop. […]
