NWA Restaurants Get NY Times Recognition + A New Coffee Spot


Hey there, NWA food lover! 😋​
​
​
Summer is still hanging around like a bad cold! Fall is coming — or at least “they” say it is. 😂

This week, we’ve got a couple of exciting local restaurant updates, including two NWA spots getting national recognition from The New York Times. Plus, there’s a new coffee and crepe shop in Bentonville and a few more things worth checking out.

Let’s dig in. 👇

✨ NWA Local Restaurants Get National Recognition

Two Northwest Arkansas restaurants have recently received national recognition from The New York Times — Lasang Pinoy NWA in downtown Rogers and Carnitas Los Cuatro Hermanos in Springdale.

Lasang Pinoy, known for its authentic Filipino food, classic Filipino dishes, and welcoming atmosphere, was included in “The Restaurant List 2026: Our 50 favorite places in America right now,” which features 50 restaurants across the country. Lasang Pinoy is the only Arkansas restaurant included on this year’s list. Read it here Today for FREE.​

Carnitas Los Cuatro Hermanos is known for its delicious carnitas tacos and operates as a butcher shop, meat market, and restaurant. Last month, The New York Times included it in “41 of the Greatest Mexican Restaurants Across the United States.”

✨ Just Opened & Waiting For You
