This week in Annapolis: July 24-30, 2015

(By LeAnn McDowell)

-“Cooler Than Me” singer, Mike Posner, is hitting Rams Head on Stage with a new sound this Saturday, July 25th. If you’re wondering what he’s been up to since 2010, he’s been busy producing and songwriting for other artists. Now he’s trading in the “dance music production for an acoustic guitar” with his new EP, The Truth, which was just released on Wednesday. The EP already has 100+ raving reviews on iTunes, so you don’t want to miss this performance. Visit ramsheadonstage.com for more information or to purchase tickets.

-If you’re looking for something to do with the kids, hang out at the Annapolis Bookstore. They’ll be hosting “Hogwarts in The Annapolis Bookstore” on Tuesday, July 28th—the day Harry Potter was invited to Hogwarts. The evening will feature tea leaf readings, OWLs and NEWTs. There will be butter beer and cauldron cakes, and you can always order something from the store’s café. During the event, the store will be collecting book donations for Sarah’s House. So enjoy the festivities while supporting a good cause. For more information go to https://www.facebook.com/events/477928082381039/

-Like being on the water? Take the opportunity to view the most recognized lighthouse in Maryland while on the Thomas Point Lighthouse cruise. The iconic Thomas Point Lighthouse is a National Historic Landmark. It’s the only screw-pile light still in its original location on the Chesapeake Bay as well as the last manned lighthouse on the Bay. Enjoy the ride and the view. Visit cruisesonthebay.com for information on pricing or to see other cruises offered by Watermark.

-Dine at Café Normandie if you’re craving French cuisine. Enjoy large portions of Normandy inspired foods like breast of chicken with apples, veal with mushrooms sauce, and seafood dishes at a bargain price. Their homemade chocolate éclairs and crepes are favorites among the locals. The café’s rustic vibe, with exposed wood beams and a large fireplace, makes the meal even more authentic.
