Green Man opens at 7:09 p.m. In 1943, Ignacio “Nacho” Anaya of Piedras Negras, just across the Rio Grande from Eagle Pass, Texas, threw together a quick snack for a group of American shopping women, using what few ingredients he had on hand: fried tortilla triangles, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced jalapeños. Boom, instant hit! We revel in the International Day of the Nacho with as many variations on this enduring delicacy as folks deem to contribute. Beneath play tunes from birthday boys Dizzy Gillespie (1917) and Manfred Mann (1940), among others.

Secret Passage: For revelers wishing to avoid crowded roads on a Friday evening, here’s an alternate route: From downtown, travel north on the I-35 frontage road, east on Manor, and then north on Berkman, which leads through the Mueller development and into Windsor Park. Map. Try it . . .
 

Looking forward to seeing you!
