Catherine Opie is known for her photography that explores communal, cultural, and sexual identity through studio portraiture, landscape photography, and urban street photography. This exhibition takes a look back at much of her career’s work. Now that it’s getting colder out, what better way to warm up than with some BBQ. Jimmy’s Bait Shack is known for their BBQ’d meats, smoked in house. The menu is all Southern favorites like po boys, catfish, fried chicken, along with burgers. Though it’s small, Cavatappo Wine Bar packs a mighty punch, offering an amazing selection of wines from all over the world for under $10 a glass. With more than 40 TVs featuring sports, Ship of Fools also has darts, pool tables, and video games.
