The weekend is flourishing in two-a-days.
This week, Perks is bringing you a chance to spend a day at the track, racing Audi’s sportiest machines around Infineon Raceway. Also: gear for the impending season between seasons with half off Steven Alan’s pre-fall collection. Finally, a weeklong membership and personal training session at Crunch, on the house. Because you only like to sweat in the presence of a live DJ.
Anytime you can get vino at the price of air, you’re a happy camper. So you’ll want to stop by your favorite first-date spot on Henderson tonight for a couple of hours of free wine sampling, from 6 to 8pm. Also known as a wine-drinking power alley.
Comebacks are never easy. But after a brief hiatus, the Green Room in Deep Ellum officially returns today, bringing you their signature “Feed Me, Wine Me” food and wine pairings, local music and a roof deck coming in the fall, just in time for breezy September happy hours.
As the heat box that is Uptown crosses into the triple digits, a few good spots on McKinney Avenue have teamed up for the only logical solution: a huge pub crawl. Starting at noon, you’ll traverse everywhere from Primo’s to Uptown Bar & Grill with other beer-drinking warriors. Officially it ends at 4pm, but we say keep going until you start requesting George Michael songs.
If you’re ready for some hard-core girl-on-girl touch football action, you’ll want to head to the Highland Park football stadium on Saturday for the annual Blondes vs. Brunettes game (sorry, redheads). Post-game includes cocktails with the athletes, who are all cute young professionals in the Dallas area. Be sure to compliment them on their... sportsmanship.
Soon, you’ll have a new addition to your arsenal of McKinney Avenue haunts... and it comes bearing mango mojitos. Also: jalapeño zucchini salsa, chili-rubbed pork tacos and a large garden patio for your outdoor feasting pleasure. Because sometimes chili-rubbed pork tacos need to breathe.
