In our neighborhood, at least two restaurants are commemorating the lactose-tolerant occasion with deals.

For the 10th year in a row, Norma’s Cafe offers free grilled cheeses from 10:30 a.m.-8 p.m. It’s for dine-in customers only, and no purchase is necessary.

At Dallas Grilled Cheese Co., it’s dollar day. From 11 a.m.-10 p.m., the restaurant will offer classic grilled cheeses, fried grilled-cheese sticks and Deep Ellum Brewing pints for $1 each. Specialty cocktails will be $5 all day.
