5 Things You Should Know This Week – June 24th

Try Something New + Delicious at Bardo’s

On Wednesday, we eat BUNS! In addition to Bardo’s delicious classic bar pizza, they’re rolling out a new item— buns are like a calzone but handheld, so you can take one and walk to the next bar with them. Each order includes one bun and a delicious sauce. They officially launch on Wednesday, June 26th- in flavors like buffalo chicken, meat lovers, or the happy camper. They will be available in the restaurant every Wednesday through the summer and maybe more depending on popularity!
