-Funny Sign
Dave has put up a new "phrase"!!! This time when I was taking the picture of the sign, a guy at the locksmith place next door starts chatting about how funny they are and liked my idea of taking pictures. Haha!
-NAAN Allen Opening
NAAN Allen is a Korean Grill and Sushi Bar owned by Sasha Kim. Previously, Sasha owned NAAN in the Shops At Legacy in Plano, but sold it earlier this year. NAAN Allen is located in the new Watters Creek shopping center in Allen, off Central. It is definitely a haul from Dallas, but not too bad with the new HOV lane.
NAAN Allen fits in perfectly with the Watters Creek development. The open air shopping center offers luscious green grass, clean creeks, and a large assortment of restaurants, shops and living space. NAAN Allen is tucked in the middle, or what appeared to be the middle, of the "urban resort." NAAN Allen is decorated in muted colors, clean lines and has high ceilings to create a chic, VIP feel. Stadiums and movie theaters often brag that every seat is like a front row seat; at NAAN Allen, every table is a VIP table. Come fall, the airy outdoor patio will definitely be booming!
There are several hibachi grills nestled in tables that provide dining seats. Seating is also available at the sushi bar. If you're looking for a traditional sit-down setting, the dining area is on the side of the entrance for a more secluded feel.
Other than the drive, I'm totally going to return to NAAN Allen to check out more of the menu!940 Garden Park Dr., Allen, TX P. 214.383.7522 Business Hours M-Th 11am – 3pm & 5 – 10pm Fri-Sat 11am – 3pm & 5 – 11pm Sun 5pm – 10pm
-Media Bistro All-Media Party/Nana Restaurant
MediaBistro is a great resource for all members of the media: writers, editors, photographers, web developers, PR, etc. Joining mediabistro.com entitles you to online and live courses in a variety of subjects, great job boards, special events, discussion panels, and much more.
The most recent All-Media party in Dallas was held at Nana restaurant, in the bar. Nana is located on the 27th floor of the Hilton Anatole off I35. The event included drinks and light nibbles. If the restaurant food is representative of the hors d'œuvres, then holy heck this place is good! The scallops were to die for! AMAZING! The grapefruit martini was pretty darn tasty as well.
You would think being on the 27th floor there would be an amazing view. It was, but just not quite as breathtaking as I expected. In the corner by the band, the view of downtown is gorgeous, but I didn't make it to that part of the room until right before I left.
If you check out the website, you can tell this place is going to be pricey. I'll have to save up some dough, but I'd love to grab drinks in the bar with some girlfriends sometime.
-Crooked Tree Coffeehouse
Two of my friends, Amy and Nicole (shout out!), and I went to the Black Friar Pub two Saturday nights ago. We parked on a side street and stumbled upon a new little independent coffeehouse, Crooked Tree CoffeeHouse! It is in a quaint house on Routh and looks super cozy. Hopefully this week I can go by and check it out. Be on the lookout for an update!

Phew! Well, that's all for now, but I promise I'll be posting much more frequently than I have been.
