Because I love to travel, in my opinion the best way to spend my birthday weekend is to get out of the house and out of town on a weekend getaway. I love visiting new towns or cities that I haven’t been to in years and experiencing what’s new. I mainly get super excited about…
Knoxville Eats: Primo Italian
Let’s just go ahead and get this out of the way: Dining at Primo is an experience.
