1. Humble pie shop treats East Dallas to hot coffee and perfect flaky crust. The Garland Road corridor east of White Rock Lake gets a little more foodie-esque with the arrival of Humble Pies, a new pie shop opening in late March.
2. 6 spring break hot spots to hit in post-Harvey Port Aransas.

3. Uptown Dallas food hall unveils late-night hours and fun michelada bar. One of Dallas' original food halls has undergone a reboot with a new name, new managers, hours, vendors, and a totally new focus.

4. Gwyneth Paltrow goops Dallas with good things, including margaritas. The wellness-centric brand that shines brighter than all the rest in luxury lifestyle is returning to Dallas for another unique pop-up shop.

5. Colorful saris brighten Dallas nonprofit's Bollywood-themed bash. Resource Center Dallas had a milestone moment on March 3, when it celebrated the 20th year of its Toast to Life event, presented by Purple Foundation.

Be it ever so humble, there's no dessert like pie.
