Pop Art-Inspired Felix Culpa Opens In the Old Victor Tangos

When Victor Tangos closed, the Dallas cocktail scene went into a mourning period. VT was a cornerstone of the city’s craft cocktail scene, an industry hang through which many of Dallas’ biggest food and drink talent filtered during its 10-year run. As of last night, the former Victor Tangos space…

Gung Ho Goes all out With Brunch Dim Sum

Lower Greenville’s Gung Ho launched brunch Oct. 20 with a menu involving some dishes with a Chinese twist, as well as some Chinese staples with American twists. How does orange chicken on top of waffles suit you? Last weekend brought temporary relief from rain, and the cool air coupled with…

Just In Time for the Midterms, Ballots & Booze Is Back

We probably don’t have to remind you that early voting for the midterm elections starts Oct. 22 — we’re pretty sure anyone with eyes and ears is aware of this contentious Texas election. But if you’re still not sure who you’re voting for — or don’t know what, other than…
