BUSINESS BUZZ
Good morning
The spot in Preston Center that once housed Preston Luggage & Gifts won’t be vacant for much longer. Tuesday Morning, the tenant next door, plans to expand into the space. According to a sign from the City of Dallas, the project will cost an estimated $215,000. An employee told us the current location plans to temporarily close sometime this month to facilitate construction.
Bakery bonanza
Speaking of Preston Center, it’s become the unofficial pastry capital of Texas. SusieCakes , the California-based sweet shop known for layer cakes opened last month on Luther Lane, just a short walk away from another new bakery, The Hospitality Sweet. Carlo’s Bakery arrived in March, but lines for the Cake Boss’ signature cannolis are still intimidat- ingly long. Then, of course, there are old favorites like Unrefined , Panini and Sprinkles . Better buy some pants with elastic waistbands.
Restaurant bites
LYFE Kitchen may be popular in places like California and Tennessee, but the concept just didn’t take in our neck of the woods. There’s only one location left in Texas and it’s not the one in Preston Hollow. Sevy’s Grill is known for its pasta dishes, but the restaurant is now trying its hand at sushi. Buy a new roll every Friday and Saturday evening. Matchbox opened in Preston Hollow Village on Feb. 29 — and we profiled it last month in the Delicious section of our magazine — but the eatery only recently debuted its full brunch menu. Pop in Saturday or Sunday between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. for a Bloody Mary burger or some blueberry muffin French toast.

Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church (PHPC) launched a program for fifth-grade boys McShan Elementary called Guys in Ties. a week, instead of eating in the cafeteria, kids dine like gentlemen in the school library. PHPC volunteers drape tables with white display centerpieces and arrange silverware. The goal is to teach young boys the importance of such things as personal grooming, etiquette and cultural sensitivity. Just recently, Guys in Ties celebrated its first graduating pictured

Around the world
A group of five sophomores from Dallas International School (DIS) spent four weeks studying abroad in Florence, Italy. Each student was paired with an Italian “correspondent” of the same age who served as both friend and tour guide. Recently, the DIS students returned the favor. Their Italian peers spent four weeks in our neighborhood, learning about life in the United States. Here’s a photo of all 10 teens on the DIS upper school campus.
