Now that it’s April, we’re looking for new places to enjoy as the weather warms up. Among these are new Tex Mex spots, a new bar, and a beauty shop to get you ready for those patio hangers. Plus, we’re welcoming a classic return to Birmingham! Check out the highly anticipated details on the reopening of Sam’s Super Samwiches here.
1. Besito’s Mexican cuisine | gray stone
We will never say no to Mexican food. This new 280 spot makes us dream of their Camarones ala diabla and their Papas Mexicanas, pictured above. Best of all, this new place is family owned, so you know you’re supporting a place that offers authentic, fresh Mexican food with Tex Mex classics.
Also try their Aguas frescoes, prepared daily for a refreshing drink that completes the perfect spring day.
2. Beauty and beyond | Vacuum
If you’re looking to shine for summer, you have to check out Beauty and Beyond. They offer hair products, synthetic hair, clothing, makeup and much more. Conveniently located on Highway 31, you may have seen this place before. If you haven’t been, they just celebrated their grand opening on April 2 and are having specials to celebrate.
They also have the largest selection of wigs in Birmingham so if you’re in the market this is the place. Plus, they also offer clips, adhesive strips, and micro tips if you’re looking to add some length. Tag us with your new look!
3. The Vibe Bar and Lounge | Downtown
It’s time to get in the mood, Birmingham, because there’s a new bar in town. Owned by local entrepreneur, Kay Carter, this local spot has amazing deals and has an unbeatable happy hour, 5-9pm. Some of their specialties include Tha Vibe Signture Drink and Margaritas for just $5 on Mondays, $15 hookahs, and a 2-for-1 drink list.
Carter also owns The corner of the nails, one of Birmingham’s first black-owned nail salons. Be sure to reach out to both companies to support the locals and arrange your next meeting.
4. The spun cow | Downtown
Want some cotton candy but it’s not the summer season? Taste freshly spun cotton candy and more at The Spun Cow, now open at Pizitz. Located right next to Ono Poke, this new spot is hard to miss and a crowd pleaser.
Bham Now team had a chance to try it out and it was a hit. Our rec? The Butterbeer Float. If you ever need a sweet treat in the middle of the workday, you know where to find them. In addition, everything is Instagrammable and therefore very aesthetic. Just be sure to tag them @thespuncow.
5. Goldfish Swim School | Vacuum
Want to teach your kids to swim and water safety before heading to the pool or beach this summer? Check out Goldfish Swim School, now open at The Grove in Hoover. With lessons for all ages and skill levels, Goldfish makes it easy. Even take a family class or a technique clinic for stronger swimmers.
Each location is franchised, so they are locally owned. The Hoover location is owned by Erik Schatz and was developed by Crawford Square Real Estate. We are delighted to see them making a difference and building confidence in the water here in Birmingham.
Get the scoop on the reopening of Sam’s Super Samwiches
Many of us were heartbroken when the founder of Sam’s Super Samwiches, Sammy Graphos, passed away. Soon after, the beloved restaurant lost its long-standing lease and the future of Sam’s Super Samwiches looked bleak. Fortunately, better days are ahead – the team recently reopened Sam’s in a new location, in honor of the late Sammy Graphos.
Many have waited for opening day to arrive and finally, we finally have it. They just announced May 2 as the reopening of Sam’s Super Samwiches.
“We apologize for any delays, but we are delighted to announce our new official opening date of May 2! It has been very difficult to get parts shipped recently, and because of that and a few unforeseen setbacks, we had to push our opening date back a month…nobody wants a superdog more than us.And no matter what, we’ll all see each other again on May 2!!!”
