Taste of Dallas is happening all weekend, starting this afternoon at 4 pm. It’s not free – admission is $5 a day and tastings can cost up to $3 – but there’s a lot on the ledger to keep you entertained. Aside from food by dozens of local restaurants, you can hear live music, check out works in the Artist Enclave, and watch demonstrations by well-known chefs (David Bull from Bolla goes on at 7 pm tonight). Best part? They’ve moved the event from the West End to Fair Park, so you’ll get some protection from the elements, whether it’s scorching heat or pouring rain.
On Sunday, the World Cup is having its finale. Your quadrennial interest in soccer might have waned now that the U.S. is out of the competition, but it’s still the biggest event in the sports world. The Netherlands take on Spain at 1:30 pm, and plenty of spots around the city, including Trinity Hall Irish Pub, are all over it. So whether you’re a David Villa devotee, a Wesley Schneider Sneijder supporter, or can’t name a single player on either squad, the match offers a perfect excuse to huddle in a group and drink all afternoon. Like you really needed one.
As always, there’s more here.
