Take a 'Tiki Tour' Through the NewBo & Czech Village District

Do some shopping with a tropical drink in your hand!

This Thursday, June 9th from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., The District is set to host their 3rd annual Tiki Tour. What's a Tiki Tour, you ask? Well, the official website reads:

"Thirty-three DISTRICT businesses will be having some awesome sales and food promotions to kick off the summer in addition to some fun tropical-themed giveaways! Support local and have some fun!"

Ages 21 and over are invited to check out businesses in the NewBo and Czech Village area, including Fong's Pizza, RAYGUN, Almost Famous Popcorn, SOKO Outfitters, Lucky's on 16th, Corner Store Apothecary, The Daisy, and The Funky Zebras. Attendees are also encouraged to dress up for the occasion. We're talking Hawaiian shirts, grass skirts, and leis! Be sure to post a photo on social media and tag @thedistrict.cr.

According to the event map, some businesses will offer alcoholic beverages, some will offer non-alcoholic ones, and others will offer both, so there are plenty of options for everyone that wants to participate. You can check out the map below:

Even with all of these resources, however, the best cure for food poisoning is preventing it in the first place. To give you an idea of what human foods can be dangerous, Stacker has put together a slideshow of 30 common foods to avoid. Take a look to see if there are any that surprise you.
