Dinner on the Town in January saw 17 of our neighbors eating good Turkish food. We are hoping even more of you will turn out on Wednesday, February 27, for fish.

We will be dining at the new Fish City Grill located at 2323 North Henderson (just west of Ross Avenue) at 6:30 p.m. Menu is pretty much what you would expect from a Fish City, but pasta, pot roast and chicken are also available.

Best part: the manager has offered us an all evening "Happy Hour" with $2 domestic and draft beer, $2 mixed drinks made with house brand liquor, and
$3 Margaritas.

So we need lots of you to RSVP to gayemaris@hotmail.com or 214 826-7777, to get together for a good meal and good time. See you there.

September 21st , Dinner on the Town at Tucker

Dinner on the Town this month will be on Thursday, September 21st. We are very honored to be guests at Tucker! A few weeks ago in the mail, Bryan Place residents received the new BAR-RESTAURANT MENU from Tucker. Attached to the menu was a "50% off any pizza" coupon for Bryan Place neighbors, and the restaurant has agreed to extend the offer through our night on the town. In addition, we will be able to enjoy drinks at happy hour prices throughout our meal. Not sure what you did with your coupon? Don't worry about it, I'm sure we will have a few extras. Those not hungry for pizza can satisfy every mood and appetite ranging from Vidalia Onion Soup and House Salad to a Tucker Kobe Beef Burger; from Australian Lamb to Bourbon Glazed Prime Ribeye.

If you have not been to Tucker, located at 3113 Ross Avenue, you are in for a treat. " TUCKER \tek-er\ n (ca. 1688) 1: an exclusive automobile, of which only 51 were produced in 1948 2: chiefly Australian: slang for FOOD 3: an unique spot for dining in Dallas, Texas." Many know it as the perfect spot for a cocktail and casual bite on your way home from work. You will feel very comfortable and relaxed with the warm interior, roaring fireplace, rich woods, and historical decor.

All Bryan Place neighbors, come on out and celebrate the first day of fall, a day early! We'll be gathered out on the patio in anticipation of great weather around 6:30 for cocktails and 7:00 for dinner. Parking is not an issue with ample free parking and complimentary valet.
