Happy Wednesday, Newmarketers! 🍂

Fall is officially in the air, and the town is buzzing with new spots, fresh flavors, and plenty of ways to get out and enjoy the weekend. From a new Mexican eatery to an Asian grocery and hot-food destination, there’s plenty to explore this week.

And if you’re looking for events, you know very well that I got you covered! Forward this to a fellow Newmarketer who needs to go out this week.

The well-loved La Mexicanada is making its way to Main Street sometime November. They’ll be bringing the same energy as their Bradford location, with live Latin bands, salsa, and mariachi on weekends to go along with their authentic Mexican eats.
