Now’s the Time for Ice Cream

Hey. New ice cream. It’s called Roomies, and you can find it starting tonight at the Farmers Market. Just look for the little stand that’s doling out waffle cones of tres leches and peanut butter ice cream. And then get both. Because you have two hands, see.

Here’s a New Taproom for You

On Friday, Grapevine Craft Brewery opens the doors to its new taproom and beer garden. There you can sample beers while listening to live music and eating things from food trucks in what’s perhaps the most weekend-y combo of activities.

Margaritas, Small Burgers and Haircuts
A CLOSE SHAVE

Margaritas, Small Burgers and Haircuts

You can get a good haircut and shave at the Gents Place. This Friday, you can also get a good margarita and a smaller-than-usual hamburger. That’s because they’re hosting a party with tequila drinks and food from Easy Slider. Your barber only wants the best for you.

SLIDE RULE
