Good morning, Pensacola.

The roads are already starting to spill over with cars and tourists. Better get’cha some weekend plans together! Pensacola Run is sponsoring a 5k starting and finishing at Graffiti Bridge. Wren Haven Homestead is a having a multi vendor farmers market over the weekend. Or, maybe there’s a birthday in the house? We have lots of ways to spot a birthday at your local food chain retailers.

Speaking of birthdays, we just celebrated one with a blue crab feast. For fresh blue crabs in Pensacola, Joe Patti's Seafood Company and Maria's Fresh Seafood Market are highly recommended. Crabs On the Beach is another option offering both pickup and online ordering. If you're looking for a more casual experience, John Seafood is known for its fresh, cooked-to-order seafood.
