We are serving up the annual list of Best New Restaurants. This year, 9 places rose to the top – they are new, local and have opened in the past year. Most of them are fresh concepts from veteran chefs, while there are a few new faces and flavors. Make plans to join us May 28 at our Best New Restaurants dinner.
This issue is meant to be enjoyed family style, so dive in and be sure to share! There are more tasty bits inside, including spotlights on Page Pressley and Dez Rodriguez, who recently opened The Dispatch after success at The Newstand; and the new bar from The Empty Stomach group, Merci Jones.
Escape the city for a weekend to sip your way through the Texas Hill Country, where Ron Yates Winery has opened an impressive new tasting room, and Sallie Lewis writes about all that Fredericksburg has to offer throughout the year.
There’s a lot going on in the world, and constant churn of news can be heavy. You don’t have to go through it alone. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and our peer-nominated guide includes the top 124 local pros who are nuanced in their fields. Specifically, Melissa Renteria writes about how parents and teens can prepare to navigate the transition from high school to college, beginning in a student’s senior year.
Save this issue as a resource for who to call when you need to talk, for steering conversations about life lessons and for answering the more mundane questions like “‘What’s for dinner?”
