Drink beers on the porch and hang out with a gaggle of B-school students (who are pretty awesome when they're not talking about schooly stuff).
Go to a flea market and buy cheap sunglasses and gawk at a penis-shaped pacifier and flip through old records and paw through rhinestone-studded accessories.
Eat a delicious Turkey Lurkey sandwich and salad and some french fries and drink a couple of good beers on a lovely restaurant patio and pay only $20 (including tip) for everything.
Go to a fancy brunch and pay only $24 for everything (mimosa and tip included).
Visit the National Aviary and 1) try not to get pooped on and 2) let African birds eat worms and grapes out of your hand.
Sit in the park and watch a bunch of happy dogs playing and one very happy dog in particular repeatedly try to hump Ginger, an overweight Brittany Spaniel.
Shop at a succession of ghetto grocery stores and for some reason experience incredible cravings for strange junk food. ("Crunch 'n Munch! I haven't had that for AGES!")
Drive through the cemetery and get creeped out by the cave that's tucked into the hillside and gaze at the amazing (and amazingly still intact) stained glass on the doors of the fancy crypts.
Write this while delicious smells waft out from the kitchen. (Mmm, spicy shrimp creole.)
