If you’re a football fan, then this weekend is probably packed with pregaming, pretzels and parties. But, if you’re not into football, this weekend is a great chance to explore the city! There are lots of really cool counterprograms happening this weekend — and as a bonus, you’ll likely avoid the crowds since Sunday is an unofficial American holiday!
