It’s another great weekend to spend in the Central West End! Whether you’re interested in shopping, trying new foods, viewing art or listening to live music, this neighborhood has something for everyone. Check out this weekend’s five things to do in the CWE.
Have Weekend Brunch| Kingside Diner
If you’re looking for weekend brunch plans, Kingside Diner has you covered. Whether you’re wanting a light fair or something heartier to kickstart your day, Kingside has something on their menu to satisfy your cravings. Try their avocado toast, which features two pieces of stacked bread, layered with an avocado spread. For those looking for something sweet, enjoy their To Bee or Not To Bee, a thick-cut brioche French toast with bananas, blackberries, powdered sugar and a honey-mascarpone glaze.
Shop Sales| East • West
Stop by East • West this weekend to shop their end of season sale. For a limited time, you can get an extra 20% off sale items. This is a great opportunity to shop for transitional pieces or an everyday staple in your closet. You’ll find everything from outerwear to shorts to long-sleeve button-ups. East • West offers quality clothing from a variety of brands.
Dine Out| Poke Doke
Poke Doke offers mouthwatering Hawaiian food. Visit them to try their new Loco Moco, a Hawaiian burger patty over a bed of white rice, savory beef gravy and a sunny side up egg and green onions on top. If you’re craving something else, try one of their signature poke bowls, which include different types of protein, rice, fruits and vegetables. Or, you can even build your own bowl!
View Art| Square One Gallery
Have you seen the latest exhibition at Square One Gallery? Earlier this month, they had the opening reception of “Tiger Moth”, a solo exhibition by contemporary artist and painter Sarah Giannobile. Her linear compositions translate into invented narratives, resembling aerial views, imagined locales and mystical landscapes. If you’re looking for something to do indoors this weekend, visit their gallery to look at unique and thought-provoking art. This exhibition runs now through September 9.
Celebrate a Business Anniversary| Treats Unleashed
Treats Unleashed is celebrating 22 years in business! If you’re looking for toys, food, accessories and more for your dog or cat, they’re the store to visit. Stop by Friday through Sunday in the CWE and get 22% off treats and chews. If there’s been new treats you’ve been eyeing for your furry friend, now is a great time to pick something up. Each day, if you are the 22 customer, you will also receive a free goody bag.
