Fayette Street gets the magazine covers and the restaurant rankings, but the borough also runs on the businesses tucked one street over that most people never think about until they need them. One of those is turning 50.

Per MoreThanTheCurve, a flooring showroom on Brook Road has been quietly shaping local homes and businesses for half a century. Half a century. In a town that has watched bridal boutiques close after 45 years and office towers change hands for $21 million, sticking around that long while nobody wrote a trend piece about you is its own kind of achievement.

If you have a summer home project in the queue, this feels like the week to walk in and say hello.

Saturday afternoon along the river will feature exactly the kind of event that sounds like a joke until you see the line forming. Flanigan's Boathouse is running its annual Hot Dog Eating Contest on July 12th at 3:00 p.m., per MoreThanTheCurve.

This is a spectator sport more than a family activity, but it is a very Conshy Saturday if you are looking for one. Bring the kids for the crowd energy, feed them actual dinner elsewhere.

Izenberg's at 401 Fayette Street has quietly added a weekday all-you-can-eat salad bar, available from 10:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., according to MoreThanTheCurve.

Not the flashiest news of the week, but if you work in the borough and your lunch options have started to blur together, a new midday salad option on Fayette is worth knowing about.
