• Dessert • North Dallas

Companies like Instagram, Forbes, Facebook, The Met Museum, Neiman Marcus, and Laura Mercier have been hiring Yasmeen Tadia and her company, Make Your Life Sweeter for eight years to create unique, Instagrammable experiences at parties and events. In fact, her sales strategy had been to explain to clients that she could create the type of treats and experiences that couldn’t be found in any store. Then COVID-19 happened. Lavish private parties like the ones she did for celebs like Oprah, Justin Timberlake and Stevie Wonder were cancelled. But Tadia was not despondent – she was determined. She instead did something she never thought she would do – open a store. Tadia’s Make Your Life Sweeter will open her first retail outlet as a pop up at Galleria Dallas on November 6. The beautiful boutique is a manifestation of everything Tadia learned in creating immersive experiences. The experience is packed with visuals which encourage guests to take photos and put themse

• Contemporary Southern • North Dallas

Booked 98 times today

Ida Claire is a funky, southern influenced restaurant & bar open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The food is notched up southern but has influences from different regions. You’ll most likely see dishes you’ve heard of before but with little twists here and there. Our sandwiches will be served on biscuits & we’ll have chicken & waffles on every menu. Brunch is obviously southern & will be a big part of what we do. The drinks are takes on classics like the Mint Julep but revved up & including a lot of house made ingredients. The décor has a southern influence with antebellum charm & elegant polish, stated most clearly in our reworked air stream trailer parked in the garden for VIP reservations. The whole restaurant will feel like a quirky southern aristocrat’s home…just not exactly what you might think.
