Grocery... Bishop Style

 I have said it before, and I probably will say it a thousand more times, I LOVE the Bishop Arts District!!  It's such a quaint and unique neighborhood in Dallas.  Nothing compares to the newly reinvented community.  

The hubby and I were going on a date Sunday night and wanted to grab something quick before our movie because we were in a time crunch.  When the word, "SANDWICHES" caught the hubby's eyes, he immediately parked the car.

And I am so thankful that he did.  I couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised by what we found inside.  



Bolsa Mercado front entrance

The store is a coffee shop, grocery and restaurant all in one.  

You can find a combination of local delights along with some your everyday food items.  


This is where you can order your sandwiches, coffee, desserts amount many other things.

The hubby is excited to frequent this place more often because a local fish market, TJ's Seafood Market, brings in fresh fish once a week.  He cannot wait to try that out!  

Check out their Facebook page to get updates on what special events they have going on, along with their nightly Dinner for Two specials.  


I picked up this soda to try while I was waiting for my food and I am now it's biggest fan!  It's 60 calories and only 4 ingredients and too sweet.  


Brace Yourselves, you are looking at the best Pimento cheese sandwhich ever!

I don't take those words lightly, either. 

This photo is deceiving, because this looks tiny, but it was huge. I am so used to eating my veggie sandwiches and then feeling unfulfilled, but I was satisfied like I had never experienced before.  I couldn't even finish it and that's saying something, because I like to eat!

Well, as you could guess, this comes highly recommended.  



Texas Theatre was the real reason we went out that night.  We visited the historic one screened theatre to catch the classic film, The Young Frankenstein.  

If you haven't been to Texas Theatre, you need to go and catch an independent film, current box office sensation or an oldie but a goodie.  

They have a bar so if you get there early or want to stay late you can grab a drink and play some Ms PacMan on the table arcade.

Silent Disco

When a co-worker first told me about a Silent Disco, I thought he was kidding.  But his voice held such excitement when he gave me a thorough, description of what it entailed.  

I talked two other coworkers to try it out with me.  We decided we had to see what it was all about. We wondered if it was just as thrilling as the past experiences of all, come to find out, many of our coworkers had.  



As you can see, well kind of, we are sporting some headphones.  You wear these in order to listen to the music.  You have three station choices to listen to one of the three DJs spinning their hearts out.  

It was so fun to be able to observe the party.  You could tell who was jamming to the same station as you.  Constantly, people would ask you, "What station are you on?"  It was a natural conversation starter.  

There were a couple of artists painting in different corners of the indoor/outdoor club.  

We had so much fun and I'm glad there were a group of people that we knew there because I don't know if it would be as fun as a trio.  

Have you even been to a silent disco?
