Recent openings
Sweet Stacks, Magnolia
Sweet Stacks dishes out souffle-style, Japanese pancakes, matcha, and other Asian specialties like Laotian spicy sausage and spicy basil spaghetti. It’s a small space, so expect to-go containers.
Felina, Near Southside
The owners of Bocca Osteria Romana have introduced housemade pastas and Italian street food inside the former Funky Picnic Brewery.
Opening this weekend
Cafe Mirador, West 7th
This refined, yet relaxed daytime cafe opens this Saturday, March 21, inside the new luxury Forty Five Ten boutique. It’ll offer a weekday lunch and weekend brunch, along with pastries, caviar, champagne + more.
Did we miss a restaurant that opened this year? Let us know.
A tennis ball. That’s how big a new African fish eagle chick was after hatching at the Fort Worth Zoo last month — the first-ever hatching of any eagle species in the zoo’s 117-year history. Learn more about its conservation efforts.
Sports
The TCU men’s basketball team has advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament after beating Ohio State 66-64 yesterday. The team takes on No. 1 Duke in the second round tomorrow, March 21.
Eat
Beren Mediterranean Empire Kitchen is on the move. The Turkish and Mediterranean restaurant is leaving Funky Town Food Hall to open up at the PS1200 complex — just a few blocks away. It hopes to open its new location early next month, starting with dinner only. (CultureMap Fort Worth)
Weather
She’s baaaaack. Record-breaking heat is moving into North Texas this weekend. Local meteorologist Pete Delkus tells us that the first time we hit 97 degrees in 2025 was in July. This year? It’s Sunday’s high.
Traffic
A $142 million, three-year highway project near downtown Fort Worth is set to begin later this year. Changes include replacing the Sylvania Avenue bridge over Airport Freeway — which has been struck dozens of times — and reconstructing frontage roads. Construction shouldn’t overlap with the World Cup. (Fort Worth Report)
Plan Ahead
