The plan

1. Cocktails at Avalon

   Modern Italian with a proper bar at 116 E Gay St. Start with one drink; dinner is elsewhere.

2. Dinner at Andiario

   Seasonal pre-set dinner at 106 W Gay St, Wednesday to Saturday. It made the New York Times' 2022 list of the 50 restaurants they loved most. Reservations essential.

3. Show at Uptown! Knauer

   Theater, music or comedy at the restored performing arts center, 226 N High St.

Hours, prices and showtimes change. Check the venue before you go, and if something here is wrong, tell us.
