Big news, y’all. Big. Huge. 💃 @prettywoman the Musical is now playing at @broadwaydallas @fairparkdallas!

This adaptation of the 1990(!) classic that made Julia Roberts a star sticks close to the original, so if you loved the movie, you’ll love the show! We especially loved the inventive set design, including a fun interpretation of the famous opera box scene.

🗓️: January 24-Febuary 5
📍: The Music Hall @fairparkdallas

A OMG-worthy oyster deal! 🦪 For a limited time

A OMG-worthy oyster deal! 🦪

For a limited time, @islaandco is offering 12 east coast oysters PLUS a specialty or classic cocktail for just $12! The promotion is available for both brunch or dinner & is the perfect starter to your meal at this cute new Australian restaurant in @bishopartsdistrict.

We paired the oysters with the East Side Spritz (gin, aloe, lemon, cucumber & sparkling wine) but their Espresso Martini was also 👍! We were also impressed by the Blistered Brussel Sprouts & the Charred Octopus for apps. For an entree, try the Roasted Half Chicken, with ajo blanco sauce , delicata, fennel, pickled grapes & herbs. Super underrated! 🍗

PS: If you want to get that 🦪 deal, better hurry! It only lasts until the end of January!

Ohmigod you guys! We saw #LegallyBlonde the Musical at @attpac! 💝👩‍💼⚖️

We put on our cutest pink outfits & hit @haywireuptown for dinner before the show. They have a great happy hour with some great bites & a frozen Texas Tea for $6! Highly recommend the pork belly burnt ends—so good! We also loved the Blackened Catfish & Gulf Shrimp on jambalaya. Yum!

Legally Blonde is a charming update on the Reese Witherspoon classic, hitting all the key moments from the original (yes, of course there’s a “Bend & Snap” song). Overall, they did a great job adapting the spirit of the movie. What, like it’s hard? 💁‍♀️

It’s crawfish season! 🦂

@Shellshack_texas crawfish is available for $11.99 per pound and can be added to the restaurant’s popular Seafood Boils, which are infused with delicious seasonings, spiced to your preferred heat level. Plus, you’ll get a choice of sausages, potatoes and corn. For an alternative option, order a plate of crawfish and pair it with a side, like rice, fries, hushpuppies and salad.

There’s a new Brass Tap in town, and they have some AWESOME local brews and specialty pizzas.🍕

The new @brasstapfrisco features a large indoor space as well as a good sized patio with all the TVs for game watching needs.

Our order:
🔥🍯🍕 Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza
🍤 Boom Boom Shrimp
🥨 Pretzel w/ White Queso (a BT favorite)

All was enjoyed with ice cold drafts that we always have a hard time deciding on when at Brass Tap because there are 70 craft beers on tap! This round we tried to stay local with Rollertown, Peticolas and Turning Point 🍻🤤.

📍FM 423 in Frisco
