Visit other nascar places like team Penske and Stewart haas. When visiting team Penske they had a whole list of garages that you can go visit in the area.

Another fun thing to do is ride scooters through South End on the Rail Trail. It’s a beautiful area to just take in the sights.

Idlewild

@kristyfitz

Amazing bar, fresh ingredients. You tell them “I like fruity drinks” or perhaps “I love ginger” and they run with it. Honestly the BEST drinks I’ve ever had.

Can get super busy and the drinks aren’t cheap but the music is bumping so if you want to dance and take some cute pics, this is a good place to go.
