Bring your furry best friend to the West Edge Paw Crawl on Saturday, May 18 from 5-9 p.m. Start at artspace, 708 Texas Street, for a final look at the fabulous art of Critical Mass 7 (leashed, behaved pooches are welcome inside!).

Your next stop is Rhino Coffee at 624 Texas Street, also pet friendly. Rhino will be featuring Great Raft Cheat Day Nitro Beer on Tap.

Pop in across the street at Abby Singer’s Bistro, 617 Texas Street. Enjoy $6 cactus margaritas and happy hour appetizers. Sadly, AS is NOT pet friendly as they are on the 2nd floor and logistics are difficult.

Crystal Stairs, 601 Texas Street, features the famous Backwoods Pecan Moonshine drink and stuffed shrimp.

The Missing Link, 504 Texas, will be pet-friendly on their sidewalk cafe for the evening. They will feature  1. 8 oz Boudin sausage, served in a sweet hoagie role.  It comes topped with house made slaw and fried pork skins. Their drink is Julie’s Blue Jacket with lemon Gin, Bbue Curacao, Sweet & Sour, a splash of Sprite & garnished with an orange wedge.

End at the Noble Savage Tavern, 417 Texas Street, with the chef’s 3-course entrees. Buy one, get the second half off. They will also be doing $4 Scooby Snack Shots! The Savage is not pet-friendly, so by then, maybe it will be pup’s bedtime. At 10 p.m. they’ll be kicking into some serious riffs with The Tone Vipers.

In addition to the food and drink specials, the Caddo Parish Animal Shelter will be set up in front of Parish Taceaux with some super cute adoptable pups for you to oooh and aahh over. Their doggies will be up for adoption for $50, and they will be spayed/neutered, micro-chipped, and vaccinated! There will also be a few vendors with dog-related goodies to purchase!
