The Dischcrawl Hits Bishop Arts Again … join them!

If you caught my last Dishcrawl recap, you’ll see how glad I am that another one is coming soon!

The next Dallas Dishcrawl will take place in the Bishop Arts District on May 28 and will feature eats from Bolsa, Boulevardier and Mesa Veracruz. Check out the offerings from each below. This Dishcrawl’s ticket is a little pricier than the last ($75), but this one will include more options at somewhat higher-end* restaurants.

Get your tickets NOW because there aren’t many left!!  Use the discount code DRINKUP to get a ticket for just $63.75 (originally $75).

Bon appétit!

*No offense at all to the previous participating restaurants … bottom line is that these restaurants simply have higher priced items on their menus.

I really loved my first Dishcrawl, and I will definitely be attending another!

  • Have dietary restrictions (past just being a picky little toot)? Let them know in advance and they’ll make adjustments.
  • How much is it? $45, and you’ll be stuffed by the last stop.
  • Does it come with booze? Some stops may, but bring cash and run ahead of the group if you choose to drink … the lines at the bars gets long and then you have to chug. (Buamp.)
  • How long does it last? Expect to be crawling for about three hours.
  • Is there transportation? Nope … wear comfy shoes because they try to make everything within walking distance.

Check out Dishcrawl Dallas, Dishcrawl Plano, and Dishcrawl Garland.

**I attended this event free of charge.**
