in town
Not away currently
In town means present in one's local area or the place being discussed, often implying availability for social plans or business: Is Sarah in town this week?
I'll be in town through Friday if you want to grab lunch.
The phrase can also mean within the urban center rather than the outskirts: We're staying in town, not at the beach house.
