The Bulldog is opening in old Moe & Johnny's
After the 20-year-old mainstay closed, the new establishment is taking the sports bar reputation seriously. So seriously that it has 50 screens and a video wall. Mix in a bistro feel accompanied by flights of mimosas and vodkas and two 24-tap walls, and you'll have no reason to leave — even during the longest games.
A big Juneteenth food festival
It's called the Juneteenth Foodways Festival, and it combines Black entrepreneurship, cuisine and the American presidency. Get to know more about Laura “Dolly” Johnson, the head chef at the White House under President Benjamin Harrison. Black-owned restaurants will re-create some of her signature dishes and serve their own, too.
