Hello BBBB Friends:
Grab a cup of coffee and settle down with today’s BBBB, I have 5 new listings to share as well as a ton of final sales and new contracts from among properties that are Still on My List. To see which homes may be off your list as well, keep scrolling down!
CRAWFISH CRAZE
When you think of kicking back in the backyard with friends, you might immediately think of barbecue. While grilling out is always in style, we are coming into peak season for crawfish! Hosting a boil of your own is pretty easy: boil crawfish, serve up with potatoes and corn, and open up a cold beer. If that’s not your style, the Heights is home to several restaurants serving the city’s finest mudbugs:
Boil House 606 E 11th St. Order from the comfort of your car at the drive-thru window and take home
BB’s Café 2701 White Oak Dr. Boasts a proprietary Cajun-style boil that packs a punch
Flying Fish 1815 N Durham Crawfish plus hushpuppies! Yum! Sign up for their monthly BOGO!
Crawfish Cafe 1026 N Shepherd Not your average mudbug fare, pick your flavor: original, garlic butter, lemon pepper, coconut, and more.
If you love crawfish and big parties, you won’t want to miss the Annual Crawfish Festival sponsored by the Greater Heights Chamber of Commerce to be held next Saturday, March 5 at Raven Tower at White Oak Music Hall, 310 North St! Open 11:00 am to 6:00 pm.
Have a great week and,
Let’s go look at houses or talk about selling yours!!!
