🔦 Art Walks Highlight

We’ve put together a brand new guide on art walks in the city! Whether you’re looking to plan the perfect date night strolling through galleries or you’re just looking for a neighborhood walk with a bit of a story, be sure to check out the details below:

🚨 New Restaurant Alert

Strada is a new fast casual Italian spot downtown located at 30 E Broadway. They’ve got pasta, paninis, salads and bowls, GF options, wine and beer, and a whipped brie appetizer that we’re dying to try! Matteo Sogne of Matteo Ristorante is opening Strada with the whole family, aiming for a more casual version of the classic. Tradition meets convenience at Strada - they’ve got a take out counter if you’re in a hurry, or you can snag a table and order a bottle of wine with your date.

Odin, 5 years old, Avenues

This week, we’re featuring an adoptable dog! That’s right, Odin could be yours!

“Odin is an energetic gentleman with a heart full of love and a tail that never stops wagging. He’s fantastic with other dogs and people with the proper introduction. Once you're in his circle, you’ll see his playful, affectionate side shine through. He absolutely loves toys—whether it’s a game of fetch or a good old-fashioned squeaky toy, Odin is always ready for playtime. With his vibrant spirit and loyal nature, Odin makes a fun and loving companion for an active household.”
