Your Perks: 1) One-of-a-kind wristwatches made from smartly refashioned antique pocket watches. 2) 19% off a police-grade breathalyzer for your smartphone. 3) 28% off tough-as-nails leather boots from Helm, made with old-school stitching techniques—right here in America.

Call it a hunch, but we’re betting you like the perfectly smoked brisket, beef ribs and jalapeño sausage they serve at Lockhart Smokehouse. And that you’ll be pleased to know they’re now serving the same fare at a shiny new location in downtown Plano. Hope we’re not being too presumptuous.

On Saturday, the new incarnation of Elbow Room turns one. Which, for you, means $1 draft beers, smoked-brisket sliders and raffle tickets. Winners get gift cards and T-shirts. Losers get... well, those $1 beers. You like your chances.
