What’s a patio hop?

It’s when you drink a cocktail at one patio, then walk to another patio to drink your second cocktail. Yes, this term is cheesy – I just made it up.

As patio hoppers say, the only think better than one great patio, is two great patios. Actually, I’ve never heard anybody say that.
