The first day back on the work grind is always hard – ease yourself into the week with some of the best breakfast in town at Sun Street Breads.

For those looking to kick off the week with a few good laughs, look no further than Open Mic Night at Acme Comedy Co.! It’s free to get in, but be sure to get there when doors open at 7:30pm.
