Maria Tash
Everyone knows that diamonds are a girl’s best friend, so grab your gals and head to Maria Tash for a new piercing or two. Expert piercers are extensively trained, curating well-fitting pieces that complement the wearer’s style and anatomy. We especially love the white diamonds (all sourced from the Diamond Trading Company) or the classic cultured freshwater peals. NorthPark Center, 8687 N. Central Expressway, Ste. 214, mariatash.com

Turn! Turn! Turn! And that’s exactly what this hip eatery does. Written by the Seasons—nestled in the busting Bishop Arts District—is taking a unique culinary approach unlike most others. Unveiling a completely new menu at the turn of each season, the restaurant is rife with locally sourced provisions and quality ingredients that will delight the palate and have you ready for your next course.
