You’ve seen the signs. The “Coming Soon” banner on that long-empty building or the flashy posting on Facebook and Instagram. New restaurants, coffee shops and more are in the beginning stages of their Tri-Cities’ debut. They may not be quite ready to open, but we’ll share what we know about them. Send your questions and tips to news@tricityherald.com. Pizzeria Evo 6494 W. Skagit Ave., Kennewick Chef Donny Evola is getting ready to open up his pizza place: Pizzeria Evo.

Teacher trades classroom for artisan pastries at new Tri-Cities patisserie

Elizabeth West has always enjoyed baking. Recently, the Tri-Cities native decided to take the leap and leave her job teaching in the Richland School District to pursue her passion with her husband, Matthew. Shrub-Steppe Patisserie is now open in Richland. French flavors Before opening a pâtisserie of her own, West went to the homeland of croissants and tarts, studying at a culinary program in France. Even the concept of a patisserie is French. “(A) patisserie is a very specific shop that sells pastries,” West said. “Bakery is kind of a catch-all for everything we (make) here. A bakery might mean cakes, or it might mean bread, or it might mean pastries, or it might mean a combination of all three.” Sweet enthusiasts can expect chocolate éclairs, apple turnovers, seasonal tarts and chocolate croissants. West imports her chocolate from France, so expect real, authentic flavors. What sets West’s business apart from others is the “quality ingredients and different flavors to my offerings.” It started with bagels When West was younger, she worked as a bagel baker briefly. “I was like 19-years-old, and I loved it,” West said. “Honestly, it was my favorite job to date I’ve ever had,” From there, the

Now open: A look at the trendy and unique finds at Tri-Cities Nordstrom Rack

The doors to the Tri-Cities first Nordstrom Rack open at 9 a.m. sharp Thursday, letting customers get a peek of what’s inside. Lucky for you, The Herald was invited to a press preview on Tuesday, Nov. 3, and I scouted out some unique finds that are perfect for holiday shopping, are trendy online or that I’d be happy if someone gifted me. Welcome to Try-Cities, where we take you beyond the breaking news to spotlight the businesses and issues that matter to our readers. Almost the entire back of The Rack was full of shoe aisles, giving shoppers choices between sneakers, heels, boots and more from recognizable names. These fun-colored Adidas sneakers caught my eye from the shelf as I was walking by, but there were also plenty of neutral options if that’s more your style. The aisles were organized by shoe size, making it easy to head to the right section. As we approach winter, I’ve been seeing lots of bright-colored, large-print outerwear hitting the shelves and Nordstrom Rack is no different. From bright knit hats to the trendy scarves I can’t escape on Instagram and large-print sweaters and puffer jackets, I think it’s safe to safe The Rack
