Uptown’s New Cookie Shop

It’s Arrived: Dinner at Oddfellows

It’s finally here. Dinner. At Oddfellows. The Bishop Arts brunch spot is rolling out fried chicken, burgers, black beans and rice, and... actually, that’s all. The $15,000 espresso machine will be up and running, too. Lattes go great with drumsticks.

Now serving dinner, Oddfellows, 316 W 7th St, 214-944-5958

THE FACTORY

A Mexican Joint near a Tortilla Factory

For the past 87 years, Luna’s tortilla factory has been slinging their homemade wares all over Dallas—from Fearing’s to the Mansion. But starting Friday, they’re rolling out their own little Mexican joint and serving up the family’s secret recipes. Hint: they involve ribs and—you guessed it—tortillas.

Now open, Luna’s, 8524 Harry Hines Blvd, 214-747-2661

LOVELY ’RITAS

A Patio Soiree and Adult Popsicles

Urban Taco’s hosting its annual patio unveiling party, with a live mariachi band, complimentary tequila tastings, rollito de rib eyes and the aforementioned margarita popsicles. If you’re not excited by now, we really can’t help you.

Watching Dallas with the Cast of Dallas

Watching <em>Dallas</em> with the Cast of <em>Dallas</em>

The time has finally arrived. TNT is remaking Dallas—we know, we’re emotional, too—so the Texas Theatre’s screening two episodes every Sunday until every season has been shown. Some of the old cast will be stopping by, so save a seat for Sue Ellen.
