*giveaway below* SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY IS COMING UP ON NOVEMBER 24TH AND SWEET TOOTH HOTEL IS CELEBRATING WITH A JOHNNY CAKES POP UP! - The @sweettoothhotel is inviting y'all in on November 24th for a pop-up shop for Small Business Saturday!

And we've teamed up with the Sweet Tooth Hotel to give away a pair of tickets to head inside their interactive art installation and check out the new theme "1955 Rockets into Space."

We'll announce a winner in 24 hours!
DID YOU HEAR THAT KLYDE WARREN PARK IS GETTING A $76 MILLION EXPANSION?! - Announced last month, our beautiful @klydewarrenpark will be expanding over the next several years to include a 20,000 sq ft pavilion with a visitors center and event space, more than an acre of additional green space, a rooftop terrace, parking garage and more!! - It could be completed as soon as 2022, which is really exciting for Dallas residents and the Downtown Dallas area as a whole! In just a few years, our downtown area could look very different, in a good way, with a lot more green space, a lot more community space and a lot more walkability. - We personally can’t wait! What do y’all think?! For a park that attracts more than 100,000 visitors every month, we think it’s a welcome addition and the renderings look so cool! - In fact, if we had it our way, we’d take the Klyde Warren covered highway concept and apply it to all the Dallas area highways...imagine if the portion of 75 that’s in Uptown was covered. We’d had so many more connected neighborhoods! But for now, we’ll settle for an expanded public park. - (And for those wondering about whether taxpayers will be paying for the project, more than half of the funds are raised privately.) - Renderings by Klyde Warren Park
HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY TO THE RUSTIC!! Anyone going tonight to celebrate alongside Margo Price and Lukas Nelson?! - Well if you’re A Star is Born fan, then you definitely should! @lukasnelsonofficial, aka Willie Nelson’s son, was actually in the movie, performing with his band in the background of Bradley Cooper. Bradley saw Lukas perform in real life, and was impressed enough to ask Lukas to help teach him guitar for the film, AND star as his band! - Plus, the amazing up-and-coming country singer songwriter @missmargoprice will be performing at @therusticdallas tonight too! We saw both her and Lukas perform the last two years at Willie Nelson’s music festival, @luckreunion and we really encourage y’all to go see them perform tonight! - They are both so, so talented so it’s such an insane opportunity to see them at The Rustic! They will only get bigger! And on top of that, it’s the Rustic’s birthday of course so reason enough to go and celebrate! It’ll be a really fun night! - GA tickets are still available! Link in our bio to purchase!!
Apparently hand rolls and Japanese cuisine is trending!! And we’re not mad about it! We just tried out Nori in Deep Ellum and the food was SO good, and it had the sexiest atmosphere. - So in the span of a few months, two hand roll spots have opened up in Dallas: Namo in West Village and now @norihandrollbar in Deep Ellum. (And we’re hoping for more because we are loving them!) - Nori sits next to Hide Bar in a skinny long space, consisting of only one, continuous table. There, guests can watch the kitchen working and preparing their immaculately presented dishes and drinks. - The concept came from a former chef at Pok the Raw Bar as well as a restauranteur, who was disappointed to find a lack of quality sushi spots in Dallas, after living in New York for 12 years. And wow, can you see the New York vibes at this wood-decorated, neutral-toned and sleek space. You instantly feel at least 10x cooler walking inside, and the hostess announces you out to the restaurant so everyone knows you’ve arrived! - While the hand rolls are their specialty (they’ll tell you to eat them the instant they are handed to you so that the seaweed aka nori doesn’t lose its special crunch) we personally found the appetizers to be divine! Specifically the rock shrimp tempura, don’t skip it. The Brussels sprouts were insanely good too. But nothing was bad and even the sea urchin hand roll that we’d normal pass on ordering, was beautifully done and topped with gold flecks! - We definitely recommend checking Nori out...it’s a great solo dining spot, especially for a quick work lunch, or perfect for a night out with a friend or significant other. However, we would caution against groups as it’s hard to make conversation with anyone except your next door neighbor, unless you take over and enjoy the whole space. - So! Who is ready for a #rollgasm?! Tag your friends and make a reservation to check it out yourselves!!
Hey Plano, are you moving soon? Because our friends at Smart City Apartment Locating has quite the real to share with you!! - The awesome local company and apartment finder, @smartcityapts, just negotiated an amazing deal on detached 2 & 3 bedroom apartment homes! You can get a 962 sq ft 2 bed/2 bath for $1511 or a 1236 sq ft 3 bed/2 bath for $1650...that’s $750 or $550 per roommate respectively! - And every unit comes with wood floors throughout and fenced in back yards! Want more info? Go checkout their Insta or call/text them to get paired up with an agent, ‪214-586-0519‬. - P.S. Why use Smart City? Not only are they a team of real Dallas locals, but they’re experts in apartment hunting who care about your wants/needs AND they get better pricing than anyone walking in off the streets!

One of our favorite traditional, upscale Mexican restaurants in town: Komali! - It seems like everyone these days is going to Mexico City, for both the food and culture. But to get the same sort of experience, you don’t actually need to travel farther than Cole and Fitzhugh to find a menu that rivals the “real deal.” - @komalirestaurant is a hidden gem here in town, serving up authentic regional and Mexico City dishes in a modern Mexican atmosphere. The restaurant is easy to miss, but hard to forget once you step inside! - Each dish and drink is presented beautifully. We asked for the pineapple infused tequila with cilantro added in - delicious - and enjoyed the Mar & Tierra, short rib and camarones al jalapeño. Everything was divine and exceeded all expectations. The food is seriously some of the best we’ve had here. - We’ve also heard Komali serves up an excellent brunch which we plan to try out soon, and is open every day for all three meals! Therefore, it’s an especially great option for an upscale dining option on a Monday night as most of the nicer restaurants in Dallas are closed!
