Tei-An Receives Five Glowing Stars

Yesteday, Leslie Brenner, The Dallas Morning News food critic gave a glowing review + 5 star rating to our beloved Japanese restaurant, Tei-An! We're thrilled and excited as this isn't easily obtained. I've raved about this place since it opened. Dallas is so lucky to have this establishment, as it's one of the few places in the entire US of A that provides delicious, daily, hand-made soba noodles - a common Japanese favorite. And now that it's nippy outside there's nothing more delicious than a hot bowl of delicious soba (curry being my personal favorite). So log onto www.ArtsPlazaEvents.com to make your reservation today. Domo arigato Leslie.

Live Holiday Music In Our Lobby This Week Only

So TO-DAY is the first day of December. It's gettin chilly outside, sparkling lights are going up and holiday music is permeating our surroundings to get us in the right mood for the holiday season. And One Arts Plaza, along with WRR, is pitching in for the holiday spirit. One of the most beatuiful things to listen to is a live chorus and we are offering it several times this week for our lunchtime crowd. From 12:45 pm - 1:00 pm on Wednesday and Friday we will have a live chorus singing in our commercial lobby. Surprisingly, the acoustics are perfect for this use...it almost sounds like an urban cathedral. Check out the video to hear the performance from this past Monday afternoon. Join us in the sun-filled lobby with fresh bright red poinsettas and a very tall Santa, to get you in the holiday spirit.
