🗞️ Dallas Digest

🚰 Water use is still up—stick to the two-day watering plan

Heat + low rain = pressure on the system, so the city’s asking everyone to keep lawns on twice-a-week watering and skip sprinklers 10 a.m.–6 p.m. Fix leaky heads if you see ’em, and report street leaks via 3-1-1. It saves your bill and eases strain on older mains. Source: City of Dallas updates.

⚽ World Cup ’26: volunteer sign-ups are open

North Texas is a host region next summer and the committee’s building the volunteer team now. You’ll need to be 18+, complete training, and commit to about eight shifts; perks include a uniform and certificate. Good way to get close to the action before ticket madness kicks in. Apply via the official portal.

🎻 This week’s big one: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix™ in Concert

The DSO plays the score live while the film screens at the Meyerson—Thu–Sun, Sept 4–7 (evening shows + a Sunday matinee). Family-friendly, high-energy, and it will sell. Details and times via DSO.

🥖 Local Business

Spotlight: Mamani (Uptown — The QUAD)

Chef Christophe De Lellis holding the whole duck and the dining room.

A chic “bistronomie” spot from the Bar Colette/Namo team, led by Joël Robuchon alum Christophe De Lellis. Think Riviera-leaning French with Italian touches: vitello tonnato, dover sole in brown butter, whole duck, and a lobster in sauce au poivre. Dinner only for now: Tue–Thu 5–9:30 pm; Fri–Sat 5–10 pm. Book early; it opens Sept 2 and buzz is hot.
Where: 2681 Howell St, Suite BU4 (in The QUAD) • Reservations: OpenTable • Vibe: Upscale but relaxed, Negroni-friendly.

3 to try (one-liners)

  • Norman’s Japanese Grill (Oak Lawn) — Duro Hospitality’s new robata + wood-fire concept with nigiri, sashimi, and skewers; lively room, great for a late dinner.

  • Las Brasas Lower Greenville (Greenville Ave) — Wood-grilled meats (that spiced Brasas chicken), rib-eye aguachile; big patio, Mexico-city energy.

  • Burger Schmurger (Lake Highlands) — Cult-favorite smashburgers in a new brick-and-mortar; grab the OG or the blue-cheese build; casual, family-friendly
