In my estimation, students don't get off campus nearly enough. They know Proctor and Sixth Avenue, but haven't plumbed the depths of Tacoma as they could. So I feel it's my duty to occasionally point out places to go that might be of interest. Here's a few that are rolling out this fall.
1. Twokoi Japanese restaurant. Near UWT, complete with sushi bar. Planned opening mid-September; everyone's excited about this. Find the location here.
2. Matador. Third installation of this Seattle Tex-Mex place which I suspect will quickly become the place for the young movers and shakers of Tacoma to see and be seen. Sorry, over 21 only. Opening this September. Find it here.
