🍊❤️ NEGRONI WEEK 2020 IS DIGITAL ❤️🍊⠀
⠀
Negoni Week looks different this year, but don’t let that take away from your efforts of drinking 13 different riffs on the classic cocktail and donating to a great cause!⠀
⠀
Visit negroniweek.com to find recipes to make at home and to make a donation that will go to bar and restaurant workers that have had a pretty rough time so far this year. (They’re supporting various charities in each country that directly benefit hospitality workers.)⠀
⠀
I sent in my donation this morning, so I’ll celebrate with a mezcal negroni at happy hour!⠀

We’re grateful to all the restaurants, not just

We’re grateful to all the restaurants, not just across Dallas but across the country, that have thoughtfully and carefully reopened with safety in mind.⁣⁣⁣
⠀⁣⁣
⠀⁣⁣
And, as a neighbor of Up On Knox, Georgie by Curtis Stone, and Le Bilboquet … I’m SO EXCITED that they’re once again open and serving!! 🥳⁣
⁣
I stopped into @uponknox and @georgie.dallas this week to celebrate their reopening and had myself a cocktail or two and treated my friends to a few of their delicious bites.⁣ 🍸⁣
⠀⁣⁣
We enjoyed the perfectly seasonal Burrata & Grilled Texas Peaches 🍑 at Up on Knox, and it was TO DIE FOR. I’ve been craving it since. Then we walked across the street to Georgie and enjoyed their charcuterie board, and I’ll be back for their lobster roll before too long.⁣ 🦞⁣
⠀⁣⁣
📸 I will also say that taking pictures at both of these spots is a breeze because they’re both gorgeous and designed to the hilt. (I could nearly move into Up on Knox …) 📸⁣
⠀⁣
⁣If you haven’t been to these spots, treat yourself to a visit this week!!⁣⁣
⠀⁣⁣⁣
⠀⁣⁣⁣
⠀⁣⁣
Thanks to these lovely restaurants for inviting me in to celebrate their reopening!

I’ve been working on my post about my West Texas

I’ve been working on my post about my West Texas trip, and it’s making me want to go back. Not because we didn’t do it well enough the first time, but because I enjoyed it just that much!⠀
⠀
So I had to post one of the fun pictures my girl Sarah got of me at the iconic West Texas art installation, Prada Marfa. (Holding a bottle of whiskey, naturally.)⠀
