Kent
The new online trend of soft-serve margaritas — featuring dairy-free ice cream mixed with tequila — has made its way to Kent’s DORA. Stop into Santo Matador Street Tacos to try its 16-ounce soft-serve margaritas ($13.99), which come in six flavors — including lime and pineapple. Twist flavors together for a sorbet-like treat. From June 20 to Sept. 12, you can also participate in the Kent DORA Path for this summer by visiting 23 spots on a passport.
