Fall seven times, weekend eight.
Your Perks: 1) Sunglasses by designers like Givenchy and Gucci. Except, you know, not at designer prices. 2) Maybe the most ingenuously designed umbrella ever. It rains in the spring, so be ready. 3) Autographed memorabilia... from guys who are pretty good at sports... with names like Larry Bird and LeBron James...
Meet the Foie Gras PB&J. It’s new at Max’s Wine Dive. It’s a hoagie filled with peanut butter, strawberry-jalapeño jam and foie gras torchon. It’s then slathered in foie gras butter and baked until crispy. It tastes like childhood. Maybe. If you’re French.
You know the Woolworth. It’s that second-story downtown bar without a balcony. That... was correct last week. But this week, no. Because they just opened a fine balcony you can visit for eating and drinking and views and sunshine. Disregard if a vampire.
The Deep Ellum Arts Festival is back. This year they’re taking over six blocks and filling them with 100 bands on five stages, plus visual arts, street performances, concession stands, a restaurant village and plenty to drink. That’s why it’s three days, you see.
Saturday: Meddlesome Moth is hosting a beer breakfast with Jester King Brewery. That means
four courses of beers paired with unusual morning foods (Japanese omelets, pastrami biscuits).
Sunday: LUCK is teaming up with Glazed Donut Works for a beer-and-donut flight.
Monday: You rest.
Four observations:
1. Lakewood Brewing Co. is expanding their space and opening a taproom.
2. There you can drink 16 taps’ worth of year-round beers and special releases.
3. It all begins Saturday.
4. Waiting is hard.
