Free Ice Cream, Mas Las Delicias, Memphis Dawgs, Dancing Jimmy's

Ben & Jerry's location at 5007 Black Road in East Memphis is giving away free cones today. It might be a good way to beat the unseasonably warm weather we are having. Donations are also being accepted with proceeds going to Le Bonheur.

Las Delicias is opening a third Mexican restaurant location later this year in a space on Quince that used to be the home to Thyme Bistro and Jarrett's. Who can't be happy that there will be yet another location to sample some of Las Delicias' guacamole? The location should also be a nice compliment to Neil's relocation to the same strip mall in East Memphis.

Keeping thing's out east, we now head over to Cordova. Memphis Dawgs has announced that they will open a test location in the Wolfchase Galleria food court. The trial period should last about 30 days. As of earlier today, they were waiting on code approval from city/county officials. Hopefully they will find a way to keep the hot dog cart in various locations along with the Wolfchase addition.

Another club/bar is opening on Beale Street. Dancing Jimmy's will take over the building that used to house Pat O'Brien's. The east side of Beale is in need of more quality entertainment spots and, if done right, this will be a nice addition to the area.
