Last month I overheard an extremely true statement that resonated with me and made perfect sense. It made so much sense, in fact, that I wondered why the thought hadn't occurred to me previously. "You don't have to be hungry to eat ice cream," said a teenage boy to his equally

Dining and entertainment go hand-in-hand, yet too often one must be left behind in search of the other, or a sub-par meal must be tolerated in order to see your favorite performer. The supper club experience is the best of both worlds: a night on the town while only paying
