Hey there, NWA food lover! 😋
​
​There’s a lot happening around Northwest Arkansas this week, from the Washington County Fair rolling into Fayetteville to several new spots giving us another reason to eat our way across the region. We’re checking out three new Fayetteville openings, including a beautiful new coffee shop, a bakery and breakfast spot, and a shake shop that’s currently offering 50% off during its soft opening.

Plus, if you’re looking for somewhere to grab a bite after the usual dinner hour, we’ve rounded up the Top 10 Late Night Restaurants & Bars in Northwest Arkansas. Because sometimes 9 p.m. rolls around and you’re just getting hungry.

Let’s dig in. 👇
