Originating in Osaka, Japan, this fun concept-dining hot-spot is now open in the Heights, marking only its second location in America. Its signature dish is known as "volcano ramen," as it's served in a 350-degrees-hot stone bowl; the broth is poured tableside into the bowl from a cylindrical top, causing the steam to rise in a dramatic fashion. Guests can choose their ramen flavor and toppings, and also select other traditional Japanese dishes like gyoza, Kushikatsu skewers and more. Don't forget Kakigōri — Japanese snow cones — for dessert!
White Linen Night returns on Friday, Aug. 3, and EZ's Liquor Lounge is ready! There will be live music courtesy of Western Jelly from 7-10pm, and a menu of items from The Original Ninfa's to supplement EZ's delicious hot dogs and chili pies.

Meanwhile, Trill Burgers is serving a limited-edition Western-style OG Trill Burger topped with homemade chili; make it a combo and get a Levi's-Trill-Burgers t-shirt. Snag a 30 percent discount card for Levi's!
