This week, bed-and-breakfasts are the place to be, with two different chef pop-up dinners happening at two different historic homes. (An overnight stay is not required to attend either.) There’s also a rosé wine dinner featuring a notable chef working to open his own place, and two different anniversary celebrations with daily specials and giveaways. One is a beloved burger joint, the other, a brand-new café.

100 Days of 203 Café – Celebration Week
One-hundred days ago, the folks from Reata opened a fast-casual downtown café on the second floor of the historic Fire Station No. 1 building in Sundance Square, and a centennial celebration is in order, they say. Customers can visit 203 Café Monday through Friday for daily giveaways, including 100 triple chocolate cookies on Monday, 100 iced drinks on Tuesday, 100 Reata blend coffees on Wednesday, 100 cinnamon rolls on Thursday, and 100 breakfast tacos on Friday (only until 10:45 am). The breakfast and lunch spot has become popular among downtown workers for sandwiches like the Reuben, roast beef, and pimento cheese with fried green tomatoes.

Fred’s Texas Café 40th Anniversary Celebration
Originally named for the family dog, Fred’s was a Fort Worth institution for burgers back before burgers went gourmet and Seventh Street went flashy. Visit this week for $5 daily specials, including cheeseburgers on Monday, nachos on Tuesday, loaded cheese fries on Wednesday, and loaded queso and chips on Thursday. The specials will be available at all three locations, including North Fort Worth and Bluebonnet Circle. On Saturday, Fred’s original location will serve 78 cent Lone Star draft beer all day.
