Bike week at the beach

Molly Darcy is an oceanfront restaurant in North Myrtle Beach that serves fine Irish and American food, but they’re also known for their PARTIES!

Bike Week, which is May 9-18, is going to be a blast at Molly Darcy’s with live music every single night. One of the bands will be The Divide, a rock band from New York State that plays Van Morrison, Cream and other classic hits.

Other special events include the display of a 911 Tribute Bike customized by Harley Davidson Fat Boy, and all week long there will be special prizes and giveaways.

Mother’s Day and special Saturdays

Crady’s in Conway has special meals planned for Mothers Day and some Saturdays, and starting today they have new hours of operation: 11:30 to 2 p.m. Mondays-Fridays for lunch, and 5:30 to 9 p.m. Mondays-Saturdays for dinner. 

Normally the restaurant is closed on Sundays, but on Mothers Day Crady’s will be open from noon to 3 p.m. for a special brunch. Dishes offered will include Eggs Benedict topped with crab meat, country ham and sweet peppers; Shrimp and Grits with sherry-laced cream; and Grandmomma Crady’s famous-recipe Salmon Croquettes.

Also, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the first Saturday of each month, Crady’s will be open for a monthly brunch with a special menu.

Of course at every brunch and at every meal, desserts prepared by Crady’s expert baker, Barbara Whitley, are offered. Lunch at Crady’s would not be lunch without Barbara’s Quiche of the Day, and at every meal her special homemade Crady’s Crackers are brought to tables as a complimentary amuse bouche.

If you’ve never had Crady’s Crackers, they are a savory treat that are a cross between a cracker and a biscuit. They’re Barbara’s version of the classic Southern Cheese Biscuits served at parties.

Crady's is at 332 Main. St. in Conway, and the number is 248-3321.
