We know you don’t frequent the West End. But we are urging you to give it a shot for this weekend-long annual foodie fest. The Taste of Dallas features live music from bands such as C.C. Cross, The Fantastics, and The Foodies, plus food for purchase from restaurants such as Kuai Dumplings and Soups, Texas de Brazil, Landry’s Seafood House, and more. Best of all, food doesn’t cost much, so this is a great chance to get a bite from a restaurant you’ve never tried before. Fri, 11 am–11 pm. The West End. 214-991-0199. www.tasteofdallas.org.
