A centuries-old Middle Eastern tradition is becoming increasingly popular in the United States: the hookah. Hookah bars seem to be popping up left and right, particularly in college towns and urban cities, as more people look for ways to spice up a typical night on the town.
Hookah lounges boast impressive menus with just about every flavor of tobacco, or shisha, you can possibly imagine. Choose from an array of fruit-flavored shisha including mango, strawberry and peach, or go for something sweeter like chocolate mint, orange cream or pina colada.

Concerts And Tours Will Rock The Summer
This summer is going to be big with concert tours. Some bands are getting back together and hitting the road. Other bands are joining forces to give you more rock for your dollar. Ticket prices range from the teens to the hundreds. 
If the show is at an amphitheater be sure to check on package deals for lawn seats. Unless you need to see the artist's face, those are the choice spots since you can relax on a blanket in the open.
