Booker T. Washington grad Norah Jones is in town at Fair Park Music Hall tonight. It’s hard to believe the Grammy-winning “Come Away With Me” was released eight years ago. Seems like just yesterday I was clutching myself in the fetal position while listening to “Lonestar” and dreaming about moving back to Texas. Well, at least that all worked out. If you’re going to the show, don’t miss opening act Sarah Jaffe, a local (Denton) singer/songwriter who is very popular around these parts. D music expert Zac Crain says to listen for Jaffe’s “Clementine” and “Before You Go.”
- The patio at Arcodoro & Pomodoro.
There are plenty of places to spend happy hour tonight. But this one sounds like the one we want to do: happy hour Italian-style at Arcodoro & Pomodoro. The restaurant just started offering L’ora Felice, with drink specials galore, and a nice patio to relax on (pictured). But free stuff is extra incentive to do everything in our world, and A&P is serving a free platter of stuzzicchini, or finger foods, when you order a drink. I needed to know a little more about these freebies, and they told me the platter includes tuna tartare, crostini, pizzettas, olives, and arancini de risi, or little fried balls of rice stuffed with delicious goodness. Also, the restaurant is celebrating it’s 22 year anniversary tomorrow, so we’ll raise a glass to that.
