A new restaurant opens its doors in the Downtown core next week. Tuscany Italian Eatery will open Monday at 116 South Front. That is across the street from AutoZone. That will be a handy lunch location for the folks in the red/gray and black but everyone else keep it in mind as well; they will be open for dinner too.
A new exhibit featuring original works of art inspired by 46 of the greatest album covers of all time will soon be on display at the Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum. Inspiration came from Aerosmith, Bee Gees, Black Oak Arkansas, Black Sabbath, David Bowie, Canned Heat, Alice Cooper, Earth, Wind & Fire, Grand Funk Railroad, Iron Butterfly, Jefferson Airplane, Tony Orlando & Dawn, The Rolling Stones, The Turtles, and others. There will be a public talk about the exhibit on Thursday, July 21 at the museum. Curated by Grammy-nominated designer Ernie Cefalu, the work includes original paintings, calligraphy, pen-and-ink drawings, and pencil.
Bluefin closed its side bar a couple of months ago and moved its bar back to the main front entrance. If you were wondering what they had planned for the side space, wonder no more.
The side bar is open for the day serving nonalcoholic beverages, coffee, smoothies, and breakfast and lunch items. I know that the owners of both Bluefin and Silly Goose are well-connected to the New York scene. Is this the latest thing up there? Swanky restaurants and bars opening during the day for lunch?
Life is Good is now selling Life Is Good, the book – “How to Live with Purpose and Enjoy the Ride.” It was written by the founders of the company. My readers who are building businesses at Start Co. might want to take a break and walk a block south to pick up some inspiration at LiG.
The South Side Supper Club has announced that they will be the featured entertainment at the next Tacos & Tunes on Felicia Suzanne’s patio, Thursday, July 14. This event happens every Thursday during the patio weather months and features $2 tacos and $5 margaritas.
Anyone else think a reality show starring Jon Jones and Johnny Manziel as roommates would make for some damn entertaining TV?
Rain may be in the forecast but I am on my way to the Memphis Farmers Market to spread a little sunshine! I am hungry and am interested to see what food truck they recruited to take the tandoori truck’s place. After that it’ll be Bardog time for business as usual on a Saturday. If I pick up any good news tidbits while I’m out I will post ’em later today or tomorrow.
