The weekend just tagged you. You’re it.
We’ve got major news: right now, a traveling carnival is roaming the country, serving glorious daylong celebrations of all things pork—Cochon 555. These usually sell out fast, but Perks is saving you a spot—and throwing a VIP preview dinner. Gluttons welcome.
Models and tacos. A timeless combination since... now. Tonight, Zouk and Fashionistas (yep, a fashion organization) are hosting a party with free Jorge’s beef tacos, gratis martinis, a DJ and mask-wearing models. This also gives you some creative ideas for queso.
Central 214 understands you. Well, technically, they understand your stomach. So they’re keeping the grill on until midnight, serving up Kobe beef sliders and chili cheese fries alongside half-price cocktails like the Southern Heat. Tequila and jalapeños are involved—you wouldn’t want to catch cold.
You require three things to enjoy the NFL playoffs. Beer. Pizza. And Cowboys victories. Uptown Popcorn can help with two of those—they’ve got a new Super Bowl–ready beer/pizza popcorn, and buffalo wing popcorn as a backup. Now if they could just fix Romo’s clavicle.
You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Which is why you prefer pie. So Norma’s is slicing you a free piece of anything you want, from coconut cream to peanut butter chocolate, for National Pie Day. You could get used to this fake holiday thing.
For nightcaps, this much is certain: location is key. And because your hot tub is somewhat less than subtle, you’ll want to try Eno’s in Bishop Arts—upstairs, they’re launching live jazz piano every Tuesday. Still, fire up the hot tub just in case.
You: winner of zero National Ping-Pong Championships. Texas Wesleyan: winners of 41. They’ll show you their secrets in this Forrest Gump–style exhibition at Brackets, while you handle the garlic knots and Bacon Whiskey Manhattans. And scout players for your ping-pong fantasy league.
