An Ending and a New Beginning

While it’s bittersweet to say goodbye to the Bagel Shop, there’s exciting news in the SoMa neighborhood.

• 😋 A New (& Delicious) Beginning: Myles Roberson and Trevor Papsadora have channeled their creativity into an exciting new project—Rex’s—originating from a series of pop-up dinners they hosted at The Bagel Shop over the past year.

• 🍸️ Comfy Bites & Cocktails: Rex’s serves craft cocktails alongside a full bar, making it an easy go-to for drinks and dinner. The menu is full of comfort food favorites, from authentic Smash Burgers to crispy Chicken Wings, all with their own signature flair.

Make a reservation! Head over to try Rex’s at 1501 Main Street—formerly home to the Bagel Shop—and stop in for a drink, a bite, or both.

Down by the River

Don’t miss it! The Pulaski County Fair kicked off on the North Little Rock Riverfront last weekend and runs through May 31.

• 🎡 Deep Fried & Really Fun: Ride all of the rides, play all of the games, and eat all of the fair food you can— all on the banks of the Arkansas River.

• 🍻 Activities Galore: Grab a beer, catch some live music, and soak up the fair vibes. Find the full lineup and get ready to vibe.
